Knit Fix is a great book for knitters of all skill levels. We all make mistakes from time to time, and this great books helps us fix them. It offers a big dose of confidence to knitters who might not feel up to the task of fixing mistakes without its help.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can take colors that you would normally never put together, place them side by side in a skein of yarn.

~ Japanese Tea Garden 2 ~

It’s like these colors were made to go together! This yarn reminds me of a Japanese Tea Garden — not so many blooms, but every shade of green imagineable! No wonder God created leaves and foliage to be shades of green — they go well together, and provide the perfect backdrop for all the colorful blooms!

This is now listed in my Etsy shop — you can find this Superwash fingering yarn, along with my other hand-dyed yarns HERE!

Information on bamboo, bamboo fiber and bamboo yarn.

Bamboo is a grass that is harvested and distilled into cellulose that is then spun into the yarn. It is one of the fastest growing sustainable resources - some species growing 1-3 feet a day! With that kind of growth, this ecologically friendly yarn can be used with confidence! Besides being Earth friendly and renewable, it’s super silky and has a great sheen.

Bamboo fiber gives your skin a chance to breathe free. What’s notable of bamboo fiber is its unusual breath ability and coolness. Because the cross-section of the bamboo fiber is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, it has much better moisture absorption and ventilation. With this unparalleled micro-structure, bamboo fiber apparel can absorb and evaporate humans sweat in a split second. Just like breathing, such garments make people feel extremely cool and comfortable in the hot summer. It is never sticking to skin even in hot summer. According to authoritative testing figures, apparels made from bamboo fibers are 1-2 degrees lower than normal apparels in hot summer. Apparel made from bamboo fiber is crowned as Air Conditioning Dress.

Bamboo yarn is a relatively new entry in the textile world, but it has become quite popular, and with good reasons. Bamboo is a pure natural raw material that wears well and is a natural antibacterial product. It is a wonderful choice for an item that is a little bit of luxury and brings beauty and antibacterial strength to your projects.

Positive Things about Bamboo Yarn

• Bamboo is a renewable resource. Bamboo can be harvested without killing the plant, and it only takes a few months before the plant is ready to be harvested again. That makes it an environmentally friendly choice.
• Bamboo yarn, when not mixed with unnatural fibers, is biodegradable.
• Bamboo yarn is often dyed with more natural dyes that are safer for the environment.
• Bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial.
• Bamboo also has ultra-violet protective properties.
• Fabric knitted with bamboo is quite breathable and cool and has great drape.
• Bamboo has a good luster, similar to mercerized cotton.
• Bamboo is strong, flexible, and can be softer than silk when spun into yarn.

Tips for Working with Bamboo Yarn

• Use blunt-ended needles to cut down on the splitting (perhaps bamboo needles?).
• Knit slowly at first to avoid splitting.
• If you’re looking for strength in the fabric but are using a fine bamboo yarn, try knitting with two strands held together.
• Bamboo yarn loses strength when it is wet and swells considerably in water.
• Bamboo needs to be hand-washed, so it isn’t a great choice for things that need to be washed frequently.

Dear Yarn Paradise lovers,
Summer is here! Knitting at summer is boring, but these yarns will change your opinion. Here is the new types that we have added for this summer:

List of previously-added yarns is as follows:

Filet crochet should also be mentioned here as it is an ‘art’ in itself and most
popular in Southern Europe, where women, young and old, sit on their doorstep
and create the most beautiful table cloths, bedspreads and even curtains in the
finest cotton!

Filet crochet is based on a simple network with a regular square grid usually
made of treble and chain stitches. Pattern instructions are usually presented in
the form of squared charts, representing a view of the finished fabric, in which
the vertical lines represent treble stitches and the horizontal ones (top of the
rows) chain stitches. Designs of all kinds are created by ‘filling in’ some of
the squares (or ‘spaces’) with treble stitches instead of chains (Figs 152 and
153).

These charts are ‘read’ in the same general way as fairisle charts, that is
working from the bottom upwards and to and fro, and a key is always given
showing you what each square represents.
