This was a kit put together by Ellen At Earthfaire and she chose multicolored beads that matched all the shades from a Marigold orange/gold to the Purple/Blues.
The pattern was a fun knit with lots of beading and pattern changes and fun seed pods, although I chose not to do the last single pod that is to dangle at the end of the final lace segment.
I used a total of 675 yards of the 864 provided in the kit and the project measures 65” long (not including the seed pods).
