Packing needs improvement

Oh my gosh I’m in love with this yarn!! It’s the right amount of softness and I find that it doesn’t split to the point of it being a problem (it does split, but knits well anyway). The colours variegate in such a beautiful and organic way (they vary often, and kind of “scatter” the colour of that makes sense...there are no harsh lines and the colours blend well). This would be difficult to use for striping since the colour varies so quickly...but for me that’s a bonus :)

I crochet, and have made more than one baby blanket, and one scarf, from the Bamboo Pop yarn. It is a very thin yarn, so it can take a while before you see results in your rows, but it creates the softest, most fluid products. I love it, and have it in many colors!

Knits beautifully, nice even stitches. Very soft finished product. Vegan. Although label says dry flat I have put finished items in dryer with no problems.
