Excellent Federal slight greyish blue. This is a nice Earthy color great for Native American bead work. Hanks measure 1.4-1.6 mm diameter and 30 beads per inch, so the diameter is 14/0 but it stacks like a 16/0. Hanks are just shy of ten inches long with four strands when laid flat. I bought out the remaining stock and once I sell this I won't ever be able to get it again because it is no longer made. It was hand crafted by glassblowers in Murano, Italy in ...the 1800's up to 1940. In the U.S., shipping is $3.75 regardless of the amount you purchase. If the system charges you more I will refund the difference. Overseas shipping cost is based upon actual weight which is usually only 5-6 ounces for most orders. Again, I will refund the difference.
