🧵 The beads
11/0 Rocaille Beads are conteria beads made of pressed glass, approximately 2mm in diameter, with a through hole of 0.7mm. This standard size is the most widely used in the world for bead weaving, fabric embroidery, and creating handmade bijoux. The 35-gram package contains approximately 1000-1200 beads, an ideal quantity for completing bracelets, necklaces, and medium-complexity projects without having to purchase multiple packages of the same color.
The 11/0 size (also known as "standard rocaille") is perfect for those working with techniques such as peyote, brick stitch, bead embroidery, and loom weaving. The regular hole allows the thread to pass through multiple times without difficulty, making these beads suitable for both beginners and those seeking precision in complex work.
🧬 Material and quality: pressed glass
Pressed glass is the traditional material for rocaille beads. Unlike blown glass, pressed glass is molded in high-pressure molds, ensuring uniform dimensions and a regular hole. This means that every bead has the same diameter and thickness, an essential element for achieving flat, symmetrical weaves without irregularities.
The smooth surface of pressed glass reflects light evenly, making the colors bright and defined. These beads are resistant to daily wear, do not fade over time, and retain their shine even after numerous hand washes. Ideal for bijoux that are worn frequently, such as bracelets and necklaces.
📦 Size and package yield
Each package contains 35 grams of 11/0 rocaille beads, equal to approximately 1000-1200 beads. With this quantity, you can make a full-weave bracelet measuring approximately 18-20cm, or a short necklace with a simple pattern. For larger projects, such as long necklaces or woven belts, we recommend purchasing 2-3 packages of the same color to avoid shade differences between different batches.
The 35g size is the ideal compromise between practicality and value: large enough to complete medium projects, but not excessive if you want to experiment with new colors without committing too much budget. Remember that rocaille beads can be stored indefinitely if kept away from moisture and direct light.
🧶 Recommended working techniques
11/0 rocaille beads are perfect for peyote weaving, a technique that creates flat and flexible surfaces ideal for bracelets and pendants. The 0.7mm hole allows the thread to pass through 3-4 times without forcing, making brick stitch (brick stitch) and tubular peyote possible to create cords and bag handles. These techniques require uniform beads: a single millimeter of difference would compromise the symmetry of the work.
For bead embroidery (bead embroidery on fabric), the 11/0 size is the standard: small enough for precise details, large enough to be sewn quickly. You can combine these beads with SuperDuo, Preciosa-Swarovski crystals, or Delica beads to create mixed compositions with three-dimensional effects. The recommended thread is Nymo, Miyuki, or KO, all available at LacariaRicami.
✨ Why choose 11/0 Rocaille Beads
Compared to unbranded budget beads, pressed glass 11/0 rocaille beads guarantee uniform size and a regular hole. This means fewer discarded beads, less frustration during weaving, and professional final results. If you have ever tried weaving with irregular beads, you know how difficult it is to achieve straight rows and even tension: with these beads, the problem does not arise.
The 11/0 size is the most versatile: small enough for refined details, large enough to work quickly. Unlike the 15/0 size (too small for beginners) or 8/0 (too large for fine weaves), 11/0 is the perfect balance. Ideal for beginners and those who have been working for years.
🎨 What you can make
11/0 rocaille beads are the base material for peyote woven bracelets, brick stitch necklaces, drop earrings, and embroidered pendants. You can also use them to decorate formal dresses, fabric bags, headbands, and fashion accessories. Their small size makes them perfect for lettering and geometric designs on a bead loom.
👩🎨 Who they are suitable for
11/0 rocaille beads are suitable for beginners who want to learn peyote or brick stitch weaving: the size is large enough to be handled easily, but small enough to achieve refined results. If you have never woven beads, start with this size: 15/0 is too small and frustrating, 8/0 is too large for elegant projects.
Those who already work with beads buy them for bridal dress embroidery, custom bijoux, and creations to sell online. The 11/0 size is the standard required by most international weaving charts, so if you follow tutorials or patterns downloaded from the internet, you will almost always need beads of this size.

📌 Important note
The weight of 35g is indicative and may vary by ±2g. The number of beads per gram depends on the color and finish: matte beads weigh slightly less than metallic ones. For projects requiring uniform colors, we recommend purchasing all the necessary packages at once to avoid shade differences between different production batches. Rocaille beads are a handcrafted product: small variations in size (±0.1mm) are normal and do not compromise the weaving.
