Matubo™ Rulla N. 117 - Crystal Violet Lined

Crystal-clear glass serves as the high-quality base for these precision-molded Matubo™ Rulla components, featuring a vibrant purple lining that radiates through the transparent exterior. Each 3x5mm cylinder is engineered with exceptional hole consistency, boasting two parallel 0.8 mm passages that ensure smooth multiple thread passes through the bead without risk of breakage. This technical precision is vital for professional designers who require tight tolerances in structural bead weaving and geometric patterns.

Premium glass sourced from renowned Czech workshops provides the foundational durability for these Czech glass beads, ensuring they maintain their clarity and finish over time. Because they are Matubo beads made from Preciosa glass, they offer a superior weight and tactile feel compared to plastic alternatives. For a striking contrast in your next project, beautifully pair with Czech fire polished beads in dark sapphire or add metallic depth with silver accents.

The cylindrical shape of these two-hole beads allows them to stack perfectly, making them an essential choice for creating seamless, fabric-like textures in flat patterns. Many advanced artisans utilize the unique geometry of Matubo™ Rulla alongside Matubo SuperDuo beads to construct sophisticated multi-dimensional jewelry. Their uniform 3x5 mm dimensions allow for predictable pattern repeats in complex peyote stitch or herringbone layouts.

For best results in bead weaving or delicate loom work, use a high-quality thread like S-lon or Nymo to ensure the integrity of the design. However, these versatile cylinders are not limited to traditional needlework; they are also excellent candidates for wire-based designs. For wire-wrapped jewelry and ornaments, we recommend using jewelry wire, keeping in mind the 0.8 mm hole diameter when selecting your gauge to ensure a secure fit for your needle and material.

Each 10 g package contains approximately 96 beads, providing ample material for a standard bracelet or several earring sets. Whether you are executing a dense brick stitch or a loose, airy fringe, the crystal violet lined finish adds a sophisticated pop of color that shifts beautifully with the light. Advanced crafters will appreciate how these cylinder beads align perfectly edge-to-edge, facilitating the creation of rigid structural pieces that hold their shape under tension.
