HandDyed HandSpun Bamboo YARN - Marmalade Pine - Beautiful Bamboo - Single Ply Yarn 134 yards 4 oz

Description

Beautiful Bamboo - Singles
Marmalade Pine
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 color "Southwest Dawn" but it is another very dark version. The teal is so deep and intense that it really looks more like a dark emerald or pine. Gorgeous, though!

I have another skein here - (slightly thicker)

and enough fiber for two more skeins - please email or convo me if interested.

Wraps per inch: 15-16
Gauge per inch: 5.75-6.5

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!

All Kitty Grrlz items come from a SMOKE-FREE, but a CAT-FRIENDLY home!
