Sari Silk

I have loved this sari silk ribbon since I first saw it on Lima Beads website....unfortunately it always seemed to be sold out in the turquoise I so coveted.  Finally all the stars aligned and  I was able to order it...it is so beautiful with hints of greens and blues.  It is the remnants left from making saris that is cut into strips and sewn together...
