Mill Hill Magnifica to Miyuki Delica conversions

Mill Hill Magnifica to Delica Beads Conversion

If you’ve managed to get your hands on Magnifica beads over the past 2 years, consider yourself lucky. These beads have been “temporarily out of production” for over two years as of this writing (Sept 2024). Wichelt does still intend to resume selling of these beads at some point, however, the timing depends on factors out of their control. In the mean time, what can we do?

Delica Bead Conversion

A good alternative to Mill Hill Magnifica beads (2g pkg) are Delica Miyuki 11/0 (7.2g pkg) beads. Like Magnifica beads, these are very uniform consistently cylindrical glass beads.

Here is our best effort at a conversion. Most of these are quite close. In a few cases we had to use the same Delica color more than once as the conversion isn’t exact. Where we weren’t quite satisfied, you’ll see a “?” next to the delica number.

Miyuki Delicas that we have available are linked in chart.
