Well I thought it would be pretty easy to make a decision about which beads to use with my yarn. Who was I kidding?
The top photo shows the three beads together on a double strand of the Redwood Forest yarn. They are in order, Translucent Root-beer, Plain Root-beer, and Translucent Cream Soda. SIde by side, as in the top photo, there are some that seem a better choice. Yet, when you look at them in the individual pictures, they each look pretty nice. I hate to think I might have to work another swatch, but that may be my only choice. What do you think sport fans?
By the way, my beads came from Fire Mountain Gems. They have a great online catalog, and really quick service. I ordered the beads on Tuesday, and there were here today! My three kinds cost a mere $9.46, with P/H being $7.40. With gas being what it is, it was worth paying the postage, especially since I didn't even know if the local shop would have what I wanted. The online pictures were right on, and I think all three have potential.

My opinion I like the first ones, the translucent root beer. I still need to go get my beads but am waiting on the yarn.
Thanks, I am leaning for them, or the clear ....
LOL, I like the root beer ones best. That is so funny that you each like one of the other ones better. I think any of them would look great with your yarn choice. Not sure if I want to use beads if I sign up for this kal, which I am thinking I am going to do. I can feel myself being sucked in---can you hear the big vacuumy noise????
I think they are all great but the top ones have the edge for me. Happy choosing
I like the rootbeer color myself, although all three have possibilities.... the top beads have the iridescent coating on them, right? (I can't tell from the picture.) Is this going to end up somewhere where that can chip? That might make a difference....
