We are frequently asked for beads with larger holes. Never smaller. We've included the most popular sizes in our online catalogue. You're asking, "Why so cheap?" Good question. Quantity. We bring them in by the container, save on shipping costs. There are about 90 beads on a 4mm strand so that's 180 holes since there is one on each side of the bead. And maybe, just maybe, you'll get a hole with air in it that Patrick Leahy breathed.
