A lovely five point lace pattern is the basis for this neat Beret. The yarn is every shade of teal blue and green, like a day at the ocean, and is so soft! It's 100% acrylic so it's washable and vegan. Hours of my time, attention and love go into each item I make. You are purchasing a functional work of art, a carrying-forward of tradition, a passion for handmade. 8-10" (20.3-25.4 cm) from the top center to the brim, depending how you stretch it. 20" (50.8 cm) around the brim when relaxed (though it does stretch) and 40" (101.6 cm) around the widest part of the beret. Machine wash cold gentle cycle, tumble dry low.

I’m a composer working in silk, gemstones, pearls, crystals, precious metals, glass, and yarn. Handmade lampworked glass beads, silk cord, silver charms, bamboo fiber and baby alpaca yarn are the notes in my music. Colors and textures are the melody and harmony. The music I compose is fine jewelry and crochet accessories created with a sense of joy.
Necklaces are often hand knotted silk cord with Swarovski Crystals, Gemstones, Lampwork Glass or Pearls floating in place. Earrings are wire-wrapped, often clusters, that coordinate with necklaces or take the stage solo. Bracelets and anklets are petite versions of necklaces for delicate and delightful descants to the music. The metals making the framework of my jewelry compositions are carefully chosen; Argentium Silver, Sterling Silver or Niobium for what may touch your skin. Accents of silver plated fine-pewter make a few fun appearances.
Crochet accessories are all about color and texture. For it to be close to your skin, on your shoulders or around your neck, it must be soft. But it must also be lovely. The yarns I create with range from baby alpaca, merino, and lambswool to silk, cotton and bamboo, to acrylic, nylon and polyfiber. You must touch the yarns, and you must see them, they are all so beautiful and wonderful.

For White Freshwater Pearl Necklace, Knotted Silk Cord, Chunky PearlsSarah was responsive, fast, and knowledgeable.
She was able to explain the color variation in pearls and how the freshwater pearls she uses appear as they do. Mini history/ trade lesson. Evidence she cares about the materials she uses. Additionally, she was a professional who obviously understands customer dynamic. I greatly appreciate her work ethic. Thanks Sarah.
