Newbie Questions - Moretti Color Chart, etc.

[Gail Kops]

Hello all!

I am making my first "shopping list" and am unsure how much Moretti to buy and wondered if there is a color chart anywhere to see what their colors end up looking like when finished?

Also - how many regular sized beads can you get out of a rod (1 meter)?
Is it better to practice on a certain kind or color?

:-k From what I have read so far, Moretti seems to be a favorite.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Gail,
Chris Fisher has a chart with some of the characteristics of the various Moretti colors:

It doesn't show the finished colors, but has a lot of helpful information.

Frantz has a picture of each rod after it's been stuck. Pull down the sub catagories menu to Rod Effetre to see all the colors. You can click on the pics to see a bigger picture of each one.
