Matubo™ Rulla N. 49 - Opaque Rose Silk Mat

Opaque Rose Silk Mat provides a sophisticated, velvety texture to these precision-engineered Matubo™ Rulla beads. Measuring exactly 3x5 mm with parallel 0.8 mm dual holes, these cylindrical components offer exceptional hole consistency and strictly controlled dimensions. These properties are critical for advanced bead weaving where stacking behavior determines the structural integrity of the piece. When designing complex geometric patterns, these 2-hole beads align perfectly with Matubo SuperDuo beads to create seamless flat bracelet patterns or dimensional jewelry. A 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, though the weight is the decisive measure of quantity.

Manufactured by Matubo using high-quality Preciosa glass, the matte finish on this rose pink shade eliminates harsh reflections, making it an ideal choice for understated, elegant designs. The silk treatment creates a soft-to-the-touch surface that mimics organic materials and pairs beautifully with metallic accents. For a striking contrast, pair these rose pink cylinders with deep teal elements, or keep the palette harmonious by blending them with fuchsia or gold. To add structural variety, integrate Preciosa seed beads in sizes 8/0 or 10/0 as spacers, which help define the cylindrical shape of the Rulla in curved or circular motifs.

Advanced artisans utilize the 0.8 mm hole diameter to accommodate multiple thread passes through the bead, essential for secure structural weaving like the brick stitch or tubular herringbone. For best results in professional bead weaving, we recommend using S-lon or Nymo thread with beading needles size 10-12, ensuring the needle and doubled thread diameter remain within the hole's tolerance. Beyond standard weaving, these Czech glass beads can also be used for wire-wrapped jewelry and ornaments when paired with high-quality jewelry wire. The consistent finish ensures that your finished pieces maintain a high-end, professional appearance across the entire project.
