Silk Satin beads are made with special glass that contains thousands of tiny bubbles giving them a beautiful glittering surface. Because they contain micro bubbles, they are extremely lightweight and slightly wider than normal. They also have sharper edges than most Japanese seed beads so they require a durable stringing material.
Tilas (TL) are two-holed, square tile beads that are a favorite among beaders, designers, and crafters. The uniform shape of Tila beads stacks up perfectly into layers or rows, making them great for use in a variety of bead stitches.
