The current range in the catalogue includes:

Delica loomwork beads. These are a cylinder bead which give a very even finish to your work. Once you have tried working with these beads you will wonder how you ever managed with anything else! They have a very large hole for their size and are therefore lighter than the usual rocailles so you get a lot more for your money with no wastage as they are so consistent in size and shape. Colour matching is very reliable as well. We stock all the colours illustrated by life size colour photographs.

Rocailles and Bugles. Widely used in all forms of beadwork, including bead embroidery and weaving, these quality beads from Miyuki in Japan are fairly consistent in both size (including hole) and shade. Stocked in an increasing number of colours in a variety of finishes, size 15/00, 11/00 and 8/00 rocailles, size 10/00 twisted hex-cut and 8/00 hex-cut, bugles in 6mm straight, 3mm straight, 6mm twisted and 12mm twisted these beads are also illustrated by life size colour photographs.

We also stock Miyuki 4mm cubes, Toho 11/00 triangles and Miyuki triangles in sizes 10/00, 8/00 and 5/00.

Nymo Thread: This high breaking strain thread is flat and therefore very easy to thread through even the finest beading needle. We stock D gauge which is fine enough to pass through even the miniature beads easily but not too fine for working with the other sizes (though I would suggest using it doubled for the size 8/00 rocailles). Stocked in about 20.

C-lon Thread: A new tough, UV resistant nylon monocord thread currently available in AA (thinner). There are about 70-75 yards of thread (about 64-68 meters) per bobbin and 36 colours.

Needles: We stock John James Beading Needles which are far superior to any other needles. These are available in many shapes and sizes.

Beadlooms: 3 sizes of wooden beadlooms made in England.

Findings: A reasonable range of standard findings are available.

Miscellaneous: Other items include pliers, wire, Thread Heaven thread conditioner, wooden beading forms. Plus more and more and more.

Magazines: 2 popular beading magazines are available.

And last but not least:
