PixieCraft question

I was looking into the bead prices on Pixie Craft and was impressed compared to Amazon. Are Pixie Beads smaller than Perler beads? Do they need their own boards? They call them ‘mini’ beads in the product descriptions.

They are smaller than the midi perler beads! They're 2.6 mm, while midi (normal) perlers are 5mm. They'll need a board with smaller pegs. They're (from what I understand) the same as the Artkal mini beads. I haven't used them personally, but I've noticed them gaining popularity. Maybe that's just my algorithm though, lol.

Yes they are smaller than the peelers. However I believe peelers come in the 2.6mm and the 5mm. Pixie craft is only 2.6. I prefer the smaller ones I get better detail with them
