Matubo 3CUT 6/0 - N. 22 - Opaque Blue Picasso

Deeply rooted in the centuries-old tradition of Northern Bohemia, these Matubo™ 3CUT 6/0 beads represent the perfect marriage of historical craftsmanship and modern precision. The glassmaking heritage of the Jablonec region is evident in the rich, deep blue glass, which serves as a canvas for the characteristic mottled Picasso finish. By using three precision cuts on the surface of each bead, Matubo enhances the way light catches the edges, creating a rustic yet sophisticated shimmer that adds incredible depth and texture to any handmade creation.

• Authentic Czech glass manufactured by Matubo for superior consistency and quality.
• Generous 1.6 mm hole size allows for multiple thread passes through the bead.
• Unique 3-cut faceted shape for increased light reflection and a tactile, organic interest.
• Versatile 6/0 size ideal for both intricate beadweaving and chunky stringing projects.

Combining these earthy blue components with Preciosa Bicone beads in crystal clear tones creates a professional, high-contrast look suitable for elegant evening jewelry. For a more organic, Mediterranean-inspired palette, these beads beautifully complement light aqua or aquamarine shades, while pairing them with orange hyacinth accents provides a striking, high-energy contrast. The Opaque Blue Picasso finish is particularly effective in bohemian-style necklaces and bracelets where a weathered, stone-like appearance is desired to evoke a sense of timeless artistry.

For best results in your weaving projects, we recommend using S-lon thread (specifically S-lon D) combined with beading needles size 10-12 to ensure smooth construction and durability. Whether you are practicing the peyote stitch or creating simple strung designs, the approximately 70 beads found in a 5 g package offer plenty of material to start a focal piece. These Matubo™ 3CUT 6/0 beads provide the reliability of high-quality Czech glass manufacturing while offering the unique, artistic flair that only traditional glasswork can achieve in the modern world.
