Not that I know of, and the Miyuki factory website only shows 11/0 and 8/0 sized Delicas. I find it funny that the large Delicas are called size 8 - they're way bigger than a 8/0 seed bead. It's especially odd because the size 11 Delicas are so much smaller than an 11/0 seed bead.

What about Tile Beads? They're the same shape and are much bigger than any Delica. Here's a link to some 6 mm tile beads, so you can see for yourself.

The hole is about the size of a 6/0 seed bead, but the walls are thin. So maybe a 7/0 bead - split the difference?

wouldn't you know, the watch i'm working on is bigger, so the pin is too large to go through the 8mm Delicas, and i don't have anything any larger that's also thin enough. this is what i came up with in the meantime:

There are much better colors available. they are called "ZOTS" look in ebay under seller lora1975 or just do a search for ZOTS you might try a google search too zots+beads
