Oh brother! They're pretty convincing in their philosophy, aren't they? But they are right about one thing--they do have a certain class. This is a gorgeous textile. At first glance it is quite dark in nature. When the light hits it, the purple and plum colors begin to glow and the gold metallic sparkles. These are a terrific bead for candle light or shopping in broad daylight. Give these beads a light source and they are at their best. Purple, brown, plum, navy blue and gold threads.
This is a set of 8 beads. Each bead this set of large-hole fiber beads is .75 inch (1.9 cm) long and .50 inch (1.3 cm) wide with a stable core .33 inch (7-8cm) through the center of the bead. . The beads in the photo are made from a skein of yarn and are a strong representation of the beads you will be buying. If you want to see the exact beads you are purchasing, contact me. I'll be very happy to take more photos!
