Masamba is a bead crochet rope created from thousands of tiny Japanese delica (cylinder) beads in a beautiful custom blend of olive green with varying finishes. There's no single pattern; but instead, there are sections which have a random blend of the different beads used and other sections that have different patterns - stripes, sawtooth, spirals, and some that look like checkerboards. The name Masamba means "leaves and vegetables" in Yao (an African language), and I believe it's a fitting name for this beautiful piece which looks as if it had come right from the forest. This versatile rope is sure to become one of your favorite accessories.

The rope is crocheted from a custom-mixed blend of delica beads in six finishes: opaque, matte, matte metallic, and hex color lined. One of the beads I chose is called metallic matte AB rose green, and it has just enough rose in the finish to give this rope a little extra pizzazz. By my estimation, there are close to 6000 beads in this rope, all strung onto the thread and then crocheted into this beautiful piece of jewelry.

The ends are joined in an "invisible" join, so there's no clasp or closure. You can wrap it around your neck once or twice; or wrap it around your wrist six or seven times for a show-stopping bracelet.
