Soft Bamboo Double is a super soft mix of bamboo and cotton. Add a little bit of acrylic! Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world, making it an incredible material for sustainable production. It also produces more oxygen than any other plant and grows well without pesticides.

The thread consists of 70% bamboo, which makes the yarn the softest you have ever experienced and gives it a special lightweight feel. It is pleasant on the skin and is therefore also a very child-friendly yarn, which has great dimensional stability. The bamboo’s fibers are naturally silky soft and smooth – which makes the thread incredibly delicate. The texture and silk-like properties give knitted projects a beautiful fall. The 23% cotton and 7% acrylic help to hold the soft bamboo fibers together and give the yarn a good shape retention.

We absolutely recommend Soft Bamboo Double for crocheting projects e.g. baby things. The AZO certificate validates that the yarn has undergone a regime of tests and has been approved according to applicable European legislation.

Bamboo and the environment: bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world and is therefore a fantastic source of sustainable production.

Bamboo releases more oxygen than any other plant and grows without the use of pesticides.

Soft Bamboo comes in two thicknesses – “fine” and “double”. Soft Bamboo Fine consists of 6 x 2 fine threads and runs 180 meters (197 yds) on 50g (1.75 oz) – recommended needles 2.5 – 3.5 mm (US 1.5 - 4). Soft Bamboo Double consists of 9 x 2 fine threads and runs 115 (126 yds) meters on 50g (1.75 oz) – and we recommend needles 3.0 - 4.0 mm (US 2.5 - 6).

In other words, if you want to make a slightly ‘lighter’ knit or crocheted project, then we recommend using “fine”. However, if you wish to make a sweater that is good all year round, then we recommend using “double”.

You may experience that the strand is more loosely spun in some areas, which is a natural and unique characteristic of this charming yarn. The high bamboo contents can make the winding process a little extra challenging, and it is natural to find some felting or knots in the strand. Loosely spun yarns demand extra patience and tolerance - but the results are stunning.

This is such a soft yarn. Even though it’s a bit thicker, I find it perfect for (summer) clothes as it has such a lovely and light texture. Will definitely buy more colours in the future.


Aleksandra

Such a lovely yarn! It’s very soft in touch and stitches look lovely made with it. It was perfect for my little Santa project this Christmas. Would highly recommend!


Simone

This is super soft and a really lovely, burgundy color. It's a bit thinner than I was expecting so I used multiple strands when weaving.


Lisa

Absolutely love this yarn. It's so soft, and so far wears really well - I've made 2 tops with it.
