Matsuno Japanese beads are renowned for their high quality and uniformity. They are a delight to work with and will produce consistently high quality work that is not possible with cheap low grade beads. They have relatively large holes in relation to their size that allows several passes of the needle without difficulty, which makes them ideal for a wide range of beading techniques.
