I don't even know where/when I happened to get so much Noro Daria yarn, but no doubt I looked at it and thought it was rather interesting. Little did I know that there were limited options for its use. It's got a beautiful shine and depth of colors (although the color combos are a little odd!), but it's like cord - stiff and unyielding. I've used some of it in the past - to make a bag and then some delicate freeform necklaces. Determined to use up stash yarns, I've created some new necklaces that are a little different, but as you can see, they remain similar.
Here are new versions (left) and old (right)!*
Frankly, I don't know what happened to some of the earlier ones, because they are mostly not marked "SOLD" in my flickr photo files. I guess I'd better do a search for them. Or perhaps I gifted or donated them. However I normality indicate that too if that's the case.

Now I know why I have so much of this stuff left - even though I really don't remember buying it in the first place! How many freeform crochet necklaces can one make? I did make one bag from it a long time ago, and it did sell. Here it is....shall I try again?
*Don't you love it when the preview and post page look totally different from the original? Sorry about the confusing photos - too difficult to try to rearrange them now! Sorry! For the most part, the newer photos are better than the older ones.
