Matsuno Glass Beads (Dynamites/MGB)

About Our Matsuno "Dynamite" Bead Collection

The Affordable Japanese Seed Bead

Matsuno Glass Beads (MGB) are one of the top three bead manufacturers in Japan, renowned for producing high-quality seed beads, bugles, and Miyuki-compatible sizes at a fraction of the cost.

Distinctive Characteristics:

• Shape: Matsuno 11/0 rounds are slightly more cylindrical (taller hole-to-hole) than Toho or Miyuki, making them excellent for loomwork and brick stitch where beads need to stack neatly.
• Large Holes: Like Toho, Matsuno beads feature generous hole sizes, allowing for multiple thread passes and lighter overall weight.
• Vibrant Finishes: We stock a wide array of their most popular finishes, including Silver-Lined, Transparent, and Matte colors that resist fading.

Best For:

These beads are the perfect choice for crafters who need uniformity without the premium price tag of Delicas. They are ideal for beginners learning bead weaving or professionals doing large-scale production work.
