"Crushed Mud" Inlace is simply wonderful because aside of it's lovely earthy color scheme, it has tiny golden sparklets embedded within the material. It makes me feel like I've just panned for gold out West and struck it rich! Findings plated in 24k gold, this nifty holder is lined with nickel-plated brass, and will easily accommodate sewing, embroidery, or yarn needles, toothpicks, or even small beads. Personally, I use one of mine as a small pill box. Comes with an attachable key ring, or can be used as a necklace or on a chatelaine. Top screws on for security. Total length is three and one-eighth inches. Heirloom quality.
