Item# 70

Mix-and-match ensemble of hat, crew socks and fingerless mittens to knit in two colors of DK weight yarn of your choice and size 6/0 seed beads.

Although the colorwork might appear involved, the slip-stitch color knitting is simple because you only need to handle one yarn color at a time. The beads give an added depth of color and look of complexity to an otherwise simple beaded knitting technique.

Themed companion socks, one with a spider and the other with a web, knitted in lace and beaded stitches.

Beaded shamrocks dance about your legs in these green-on-green socks to celebrate good luck and laughter in the Irish tradition.

This kit includes

• printed pattern instructions
• all the high quality yarns and beads you need to knit a pair of Frolicking Shamrocks Socks as shown
• a nylon collapsing eye needle to help you easily string the beads onto the yarn

The yarn is 4 oz (2 skeins) of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in color Sage. The beads are the Miyuki brand, in color Emerald AB, manufactured in Japan with consistently high quality that will not abrade the thread and the finish will not rub off.

High quality Japanese glass seed beads (a.k.a. round rocailles) by Miyuki in size 11/0 (2 mm diameter). Use this size bead for stringing on lace weight yarns and fine threads like size 8 perle cotton, size 10 crochet thread, and size 5/2 tencel thread or finer.

Beads are packaged in clear zip-top bags for easy handling; no tubes to roll around or tops popping off and spilling beads. Approximately 1550 - 1650 per 15g bag unless otherwise noted (mixes come in smaller 12g bags).

Sparkly beads glisten like raindrops, greeting the awakening of Spring's first leaves.
