can anyone help me please?

[Twinkle]

I'm looking for beads that can be put in the washing machine, I want to put them on clothes

what should I be looking for? colourfast or non-colourfast?

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! 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.
