Cotton Candy Blues Hand Spun Bamboo Two-Ply Yarn Here is a two-ply DK weight yarn spun by me from hand dyed bamboo fiber - dyed by fiberlady.etsy.com. I also have a larger skein that matches. SKEIN 1 : 84 yards, 2.4 oz Wraps per inch: 12 Gauge per inch: 5.5-6 Recommended needles: 5-6 (metric: 3.75-4.25) Recommended hook: F DK Weight Bamboo is washable but due to the dyeing I would still wash this in cool water and air dry. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly fiber with a unique anti-bacteria agent that should last for many washings. It is also naturally pest resistant and due to the fiber structure of bamboo, it can absorb and evaporate sweat from human skin very quickly (thus making it very cool in summer!). Bamboo has the sheen, weight and drape of silk but much more durable! As wonderful as it is, please keep in mind that it has NO memory like WOOL does, so it may not be good for fitted knitting or crochet projects unless used with another yarn. But, for draping projects or projects where elasticity is not required, it is excellent! And SO soft and shiny! I will be adding a lot more bamboo hand spun yarns over the next few weeks so check back often! All Kitty Grrlz items come from a SMOKE-FREE, but a CAT-FRIENDLY home!
