Cascade Yarns has announced a new addition: Lana Bambu, a loosely-spun single ply wool/bamboo mixture.
It looks beautiful, and I’m all in favor of eco-friendly fibers like bamboo. But I have some reservations about the twist – the few times I’ve knit with a bamboo blend, sagging has been a terrible problem. The classic way to combat this is by producing the yarn with a hard twist. Hmm, not so sure about this one!
