Product Details

NOTE: 001 (black) & 026 (white) are less expensive than other regular colors.

Beads in the early fur trade were an important commodity because they were in great demand and easily packed and transported. Pony beads were first introduced to Indians by French explorers in the early 17th Century and were immediately popular and well suited for use in decorating Indian garments. Great for early period beadwork, necklaces, and other ornaments.

Pony beads are basically a large seed bead. Some say these beads got their name because they were transported by traders on ponies, while other sources dispute this. Pony beads are typically found in sizes 5/0 and 8/0. The 8/0 is the most commonly used size. These beads are used for the same purposes as seed beads but the work is obviously not as fine.

Hanks are 24 strings 10" long; Approx. 2700 beads.  **Some colors are strung and some colors come packaged loose.

Order Instructions:

  • To order multiple colors, use the "continue shopping" button to return and enter another selection.
  • Kilo and 1/2 kilo prices represent considerable savings since we save packaging time. Prices are for one color per kilo or 1/2 kilo.
  • Select order "unit" (hank, 1/2 kilo, kilo) & color desired
  • Indicate second choices (where possible) since some colors are unavailable from time to time. (you get a chance to add 'freeform' order information at the end of the order process)
  • Remember, order enough background color to match since dye lots vary & different lots may not match.
  • Color variations will not affect designs but may be noticeable in backgrounds.
  • Sometimes we receive beads that are slightly off size; however, this is unavoidable due to the manufacturing process.
