Having looked at your website and the 'fair trade' and ethical theme of your stuff, I would be careful which beads you go for Twinkle. Yes, you need colourfast, but a lot of beads are made in the far east.............see!............I never said China!............oh, damn!............anyhoo, you get the picture! :D Are you looking for embroidery beads? If so, I would look at Mill Hill beads - they are not cheap, but they are mainly for embroidery, cross stitch, etc. http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cat11.html
See what you think. :)
