Sister Ananse Road Trip DK
The open road holds potential, wonder, liberation, and adventure. Sister Ananse Road Trip DK brings that feeling to your stitches in a soft superwash merino collection dyed by Naima Bond exclusively for String Theory, inspired by road trips and the movies that celebrate them.
Naima layers many different colors into most skeins, making each one a little journey of its own. Your skein may look slightly different from the one pictured.
