TOHO seed beads overview:

You can find the TOHO Round shape in round seed beads, which are suitable for all sorts of techniques of sewing jewellery. They are also well suited for embroidering around cabochons or Swarovski rivoli.

The optimal threading material for working with TOHO beads are very thin and strong cotton threads NYMO and TOHO One-G nylon threads.

The round seed beads TOHO Hybrids 11/0 have a special finish, thanks to which the beads are characterised by original colours, textures and longer lifespan. Other beads with special finish are the professional TOHO Exclusive beads. They are more expensive due to metallic finish made from precious metals.
