Be Sweet Bamboo

Be Sweet Bamboo is a beautiful bamboo yarn with a stunning sheen. The yarn is hand dyed, which creates vibrant colors with some slight variations. It is very soft, and would make a great camisole with an openwork pattern or lace scarf. Made in South Africa.

        This ball of yarn would fit into the palm of a small child. I was SO embarrassed to have bought this for my wife.

          Comments about Be Sweet Bamboo:

          This yarn drapes wonderfully, and I love its softness. So I'm buying as much as I can afford before this runs out! And I know this sounds nuts, but the way these balls are wound, I just leave it rather than ball it up.

            Knit the Be Sweet Cowl and love the way the yarn drapes. Color was great with variations that enhanced the end product. Check out the story behind creation of the yarn as it is a great humanitarian reason to support the product.

                Comments about Be Sweet Bamboo:

                This is wonderful to look at and feel but the best quality is how workable this yarn is. Because of the soft chainette construction putting a stitch wrong is pretty hard to do - no splitting in the yarn - and any mistakes are easily rectified. The wool unwinds quickly and undamaged.
