The size is suitable for 18" dolls and teddy bears, making it a delightful gift for a lucky doll or teddy bear lover!

Adorn your wardrobe with this fluid scarf. Sparkly beads frame a crescent of interleaved chevrons of knit lace.

Relieve tensions with a soothing Beaded Stress Ball

Squish and roll this beaded ball around in your hands to provide relaxation and quick relief to stress, aching or stiff finger joints. Tiny pressure points of beads have a meditative quality.

High quality Japanese glass drop beads by Miyuki, approximately 300 per 15g. These beads are rounded at one end, and tapered at the other end where the hole is, i.e. they look like a teardrop! and are sometimes referred to as fringe beads. Great for beads around the edge of a shawl or scarf, or dangling within a yarn over of knitted lace, etc.

Beads are packaged in clear zip-top bags for easy handling; no tubes to roll around or tops popping off and spilling beads. Approximately 300 per 15g bag.

See sample card to get approximation of color. The two transparent crystal colors are similar. Choose the cool-toned crystal (DP-250) if you want the bead to add a bit of its own bluish and pinkish tones from the Aurora Borealis (AB) finish. Choose the warm-toned crystal (DP-131) for a perfectly clear bead to add sparkle to your yarn.

Reminiscent of Irish heritage and Black Watch plaid colors. This is the yarn and color pictured for March's Beyond BOBBOL 2014 KAL of Spring Lace Leaves Scarf. 1 skein is all you need if you want to make the scarf.
