A joy to work with, and a joy to wear
Buying yarn online seems like a bit of a gamble; you cannot feel it, or see if the colour will suit. But I took a chance with this one. I had to prompt the supplier for shipping confirmation. This yarn is 50/50 cotton/bamboo. It is soft to the touch and has a gentle sheen. There was the odd possibility of the fibres 'stranding' a little but this wasn't a problem for me. Because of the yarn's 'lack-of-give;'content, there was a possibility of irregularity in the stitchwork too, but I always use 'Soak' on my finished work, and those irregularities disappeared as the fibres relaxed. My pattern called for 800 gms so I ordered 800. The garment was completed with 450 gms so I would say look at the yardage too before ordering.
