FO: Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair

Did you still remember my post about mystery knit along called Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair back in February? Wondering how does it look like?







Details information about this project:
Materials: Rendezvous Treasure (440 yd/100g skein; 70% Bluefaced Leicester / 20* Silk / 10% Cashmere) in Rampion colorway
Quantity: 2 skeins
Beads: Miyuki Berry Lined Light Topaz AB size 6

Finish Date: 9 June 2016

I used 2 skeins to make the Large size, and although the yarns were from the same batch somehow they are slightly different. As you can see from the photo above, the edging part has slightly more yellow than the body.
