this braidĀ so cheery, happy, and beautiful! it just smiles at you with the bright, bold colors. the colors are still easily adaptable to use in a variety of applications from baby garments to fun purses to sprinkling embroidery on a woman's dress, etc. so inspiring! there are six colors total - two bold complimentary blues, two coral shades of pink, one yellow, and a green to tie everything together.Ā you get a full hank of volume - roughly 50 strands of each color about 18" long - lots of material!
