I named this motif after the shapes that reminded me of urns or pottery bowls fullof purls... Or pearls. I think it is best suited for nearly solid yarns, or hand dyed yarns with short segments of color. lwould liketothanktheLoopy EweLopieGroopies group onRavelryfortheirhelptest kniting this design.
