Bamboo Blend Yarn for a New Free Crochet Design

Isn't this bowl of yarn delicious? A beautiful palette of rich colours for my next free crochet design. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be using all of these balls, but definitely the deep purple and the teal.

The yarn is Scheepjes Bamboo Soft, a gorgeously soft bamboo and cotton blend that I'll be working with for the first time. The plan is to make a cute practical item that is also very decorative. I can't tell you a lot about it yet, but what I can tell is that I'll also be using one of my previous free designs to embellish this one so that it'll have a peacocky flavour :) Yes, I'll take any opportunity to add a touch of peacock feathery goodness.

Now let me tell you a little bit more about this Bamboo Soft yarn. It's is a Fingering weight yarn with a blend of 50% Bamboo and 50% Cotton. Due to the inherent benefits of bamboo fibre, the yarn is very versatile and ideal for making beautifully soft, lightweight garments, wearable accessories and home décor projects. It has a beautiful drape and that's one of the reasons I chose it for this project.

Another reason is that Bamboo Soft is a vegan-friendly yarn, meaning that the fibres and dyes used to create the yarn are 100% plant-based. It also features Scheepjes’ new Recycled Water logo, ensuring that all waste water has been safely recycled and repurposed during the production of this yarn. I think sustainability is so important and being able to work with environmentally-friendly craft products is something I want to focus on more. 

As you can see in the shade card below, Bamboo Soft is available in a selection of 17 rich colours that all work very well together. I think I'll select about 6 different colours for my project. I'll show you more next week!
