TILLI TOMAS DRAWSTRING RUCKSACK KIT contains rucksack (dark olive green), 2 skeins of TRENDSETTER YARN (SEGUE, color 602; Ribbon Yarn of greens, blues, copper, gold) and direction card. Colors are wonderful, unfortunately all color variation in ribbon yarn does not show well in picture as the iridescent quality of the yarn causes a reflection which masks the true color tones.
