About Us
Bamboo is a terrific semi-ecofriendly yarn with the softest of hands.  It is smooth and dreamy. The bamboo fibers are so smooth that this yarn is wonderful to work with even when your hands are super dry.  Mix with cotton or Tencel to create a strong but drapey fabric.
(I say semi-ecofriendly because while bamboo can be processed without chemicals, it's extremely expensive to do so. Most commercially available bamboo is processed like rayon.  However, the crop of bamboo is among the most "green" to produce - it needs no fertilizers or pesticides and a grove of bamboo will regenerate every 4-5 years.)

The year's first carrots, a little paler than they will be in a few weeks, from the garden are reflected in this orange and green gradation. This yarn was hand painted then overdyed to add more depth to the color.  It is an SWTC bamboo, which is the knitted-type yarn rather than plied.  This bamboo has a beautiful drape and can be used for anything from scarves to towels.  Great mixed with just about any other yarn.
