I have used metallic braids in five colours: a silvery gold, a gold, a red gold, a copper and a bronze.

When choosing your yarn, keep in mind that the multi-colored stripes will stand out more clearly if the solid color background does not appear within the multi-color yarn. We love the way the ridges help rub dried food off the dishes.
