Will these #13 work for 15/0 seed beads?

I have used #11, #12, and #13 size needles with 15/0 beads. So, YES! #13 needles will work for 15/0 beads.

Do they work for 8/0 beads ??

Bead sizes are different than what you would normally think. In beads, the smaller the number, the bigger the bead. They are usually sized according to how many lined up, in an inch. The needles that will go through the 8/0 beads, don't have to be tiny. You can get a size 10 needle, and it will go through an 8/0 bead with room to spare, and will not be as hard to thread as the smaller needles (11, 12, 13). I hope this information helps. I have been beading for 61 years, and the John James needles have always been my favorite.

Are these size 13 or size 12?

HTH-BN13 needles, sold by ToolsGS at Amazon, are size 13 needles. There is different item, HTH-BN12, which are size 12. The description connected with this BN13 item looks wrong. We will contact Amazon to correct it for this listing.
