Striped Top in Bamboo

Bamboo yarn is made from fine, soft strands of bamboo fiber that are plied together. It's easy to knit and has beautiful drape. Combine its natural beauty with the hand dyeing of Be Sweet's South African women's cooperative and you've got Bamboo - a fabulous yarn that sings with color.

At a suggested gauge of 5 stitches per inch, it's easy to find great designs for Bamboo. Just look at almost any pattern that uses cotton yarn and you'll see what a popular springtime gauge it is.


Laura was immediately drawn to the colors of the Striped Top in the new spring Rebecca magazine. When the Bamboo arrived, she knew its shimmering colors would be just the thing, and she was right!
