Beaded Necklace

designed by Susan Mills

Santorini
Santorini is the striping, space-dyed
version of our popular summer yarn
Sanibel. Dyed in vibrant, summery
colors, the striping colorways sing
and the matte, shine and textures
inherent in the yarn add depth
and interest. With wonderful drape,
this is the perfect yarn for a warm
weather garment or accessory.
