I love Benzie's Jadeite felt, as I collect actual jadeite glass. These beads are perfect for working with Jadeite felt and coordinating colors. I do wish Benzie would sell beads in standard size packs (for this size, around 500 beads per package is standard size, and this set is more than 3 times that many!). This would make it easier to store with the other beads I have in standard packaging. 1800 size 11 beads is way more than I will use in my lifetime. Being required to purchase that many just to get a hard-to-find color is wasteful. However, that's just a personal complaint, and doesn't affect the quality of the beads at all. The beads have been wonderful to work with and add a special touch to my projects. Because of the volume (and the coordinating issue of price), I will be purchasing seed beads elsewhere in the future, with reasonable volumes and prices, but will continue to return to Benzie for felt and all manner of craft supplies.
