Crystal Palace Yarns


 


Detail of back above and below a close-up.

Splash is a longer and softer fur-like eyelash
than a look-alike you'll see in some discount yarn shops.
But Splash is a price that is about the same (remember Splash comes on a 100 gr ball when comparing prices).
FEEL the difference!
