This purse is made with Knitbeads exclusive yarn, Reflections, that has a thin thread of silver going through the yarn that adds the perfect sparkle for this project. Toho 6/0 seed beads are also part of this pattern that makes the tree look like it has little ornaments. So with the sparkle of silver looking like tinsel, and the beads looking like ornaments, it would be a perfect holiday gift for someone special on your list this year. :-) Kits will go on sale 11/3/2008 at Knitting, Beads & Other Things. :-)
