This set of metallic yarns offers a subtle shimmer reminiscent of gum
drops, rock candy and frosted fruit slices. Yarns are blended together
to create the designs. Colours include sugar plum, cotton candy,
orange sherbet and lollipop lemon in thread sizes 4, 8, 12 and
16 braids.
These yummy sounding threads can be used in cross stitch,
needlepoint, quilting and jewellery crafts.
There are nine shades in this range, inspired by the delicate crystal
colours of the German and Polish glass Christmas decorations.
