Feather & Fan Bracelet -- Saturday 10:15am-1:15pm -- Room 1

Class Fee $30.00 ​Due with registration
Sponsored by Toho Beads, the Fan and Feather Bracelet resembles the knitting classic of the Eyelet and Lace knit family.  So named due to the resemblance of the stitches to the fanned feathers of a peacock.  The base of the bracelet is worked in the designers adaptation of Ndebele (herringbone) stitch with 6 & 8 Japanese Demi Round beads.  The base is embellished with size 8 & 11 Japanese Demi Round beads.  Soft, supple and a delight to wear.  You will enjoy stitching this bracelet.
