These beads are Fair Trade, artisan made & very eco-friendly. Tagua nut, also called corozo, is a vegetable ivory that comes from a South American palm native to the rain forest. No trees are chopped down to harvest the nuts which are a very renewable source.
These beads make the perfect accent to any eco-friendly knit or crochet project, as well as any number of arts & crafts projects. The beads go perfect with Pakucho, Peruvian and Kusikuy organic cotton yarns. The combination makes for the perfect Green project.
These beads are very unique & rustic in color and patterning. No 2 beads are exactly the same, but are mainly round.
There are 7 colors & 5 sizes available: 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm & 20mm.
NOTE: There are natural unpolished beads available in all sizes so that you can dye them yourself if you prefer. See the natural listings for your choice.
Also available are our Big (5mm) Hole 20mm Round beads for use with crochet & double crochet cording as well as I Cords.
All the beads are Fair Trade with with no exception.
These beads are VEGAN except for the Rich Pink which is dyed with a traditional South American Cochineal.
The beads come shipped in a biodegradable clear cup with lid (made from corn) that you can keep the beads in.
NOTE: Please keep in mind that these beads are naturally plant dyed. The natural is undyed. There are no artificial chemicals used. Each bead can vary in depth of color and this makes these beads very beautiful.
The tagua beads & recycled glass beads make a really nice combination when used together.
