Hand Spun Single Ply Yarn

Here is a hand spun single ply yarn spun by me from 100% bamboo fiber - handdyed by fiberlady.etsy.com. This is colorway "Black Gold" and is once again a different variation than past versions I have spun. This one is so dark and rich and really my favorite of any of the versions I've had!

I have 3 other skeins that will be listed today (1/26) and also have enough fiber to spin 8 more skeins. If you would like more spun, please convo me for details. The next time I get this color, it may be different, so this may be the only time I will have this variation!

SKEIN 1 (blue/gold ties): 166 yards, 3.7 oz/108 grams

Wraps per inch: 16-18
Gauge per inch: 5.75-6.5
Recommended needles: 3-5 (metric: 3.25-3.75)
Recommended hook: F

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!
