At Sundaylace Creations, we’re proud to offer one of the largest selections of 11/0 Czech Seed Beads in Canada. Made from high-quality Czech glass, these beads are known for their vibrant colours, reliable sizing, and smooth finish—a staple for Indigenous beadwork, jewelry making, and embroidery.

📏 What Does 11/0 Mean?

The size code 11/0 (eleven aught) comes from a traditional European system used by glass bead makers in the 1800s. It doesn’t mean that 11 beads fit in an inch—a common myth! In reality, 11/0 Czech seed beads measure about 2.0–2.2 mm, and you’ll usually fit 16–18 beads per inch when strung side by side. The “/0” is simply a code where the higher the number, the smaller the bead (so 15/0 is tinier than 11/0, while 8/0 is larger).
