Sister Ananse Civil Rights DK
The newest collection from Sister Ananse is inspired by Civil Rights. Take a look at the color names. If you don't know what they refer to, take a moment to look it up. It's the least we can do.
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.
