Many of you may have heard that Miyuki has recently released a list of colours that they will be discontinuing, due to the use of lead in the enamel colours. This affects both Miyuki Delicas and non-Delica colours - which we have highlighted for you further down.
Miyuki have confirmed that some of these colours will be replaced with lead-free alternatives, and these beads will still have the same colour number as the original, with the addition of '-1' at the end of the colour. For example, colour DB0106 will be replaced with DB0106-1, colour DB0206 will be replaced with DB0206-01 and so on.
Miyuki has also stated that where possible, the replacement colours will be as close to the original colour as possible, however there may be some slight deviations in the shades. therefore if you are currently working on a projetc or have a favourite colour that is being discontinued, you may wish to think about stocking up before the new versions arrive on the market!
