I've got some of these little beads hanging around from when I bought them a few years ago. I'd like to buy some more, so /I've looked up the same catalogue that I got them from years ago and I can either have a size 11/0 or a size 8/0. I think 8 is the bigger? Yes? But how do I know which size I've got so I can order some more?

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "Charlie" :
]12! Thank you!
so what you have are probably 11s.
i think that's how someone here told me they are "sized". by how many fit in 1 inch.

8/0 is roughly the size of a 4mm. 11/0 is considerably smaller, more like a 2mm, and usually less spherical. HTH!
