MADDIE [100% Bamboo Ribbon Hand Painted]

 


Makalu Maddie,
made in China

natural


Maddie is a very soft, with a great loft, ombré bamboo ribbon made in China, hand painted in Canada. Using this yarn, you can knit a fast&easy summer sweater or cardigan, top, poncho, bolero, wrap, dress, and in colours, which will definitely bring joy to your eyes. Bulky patterns are suitable as well. As we have already noted: 100% bamboo is a natural antibacterial and biodegradable fiber.

For information: Ombré yarns are dyed gradually so each colour melts into the next without a distinct transition. Ombré can be monochromatic as well.
