Handspun Bamboo Yarn Nightcap and Trim
Posted on: 09/11/2013
I worked up some of my handspun bamboo yarn into a nightcap and trim on a little beanie. This fiber is luster in every strand. So beautiful! 🙂

Luxury fiber handspun like bamboo, merino/bamboo and silk and bfl/silk have been finding their way onto my spinning wheel lately. I’ve been working hard to nail down my dye process and am creating some pretty awesome yarn in the process! Check it out:

100% handspun and hand dyed bamboo fiber - bamboo knit stitch with garter border
Here’s the details and the simple pattern I made up for this scarf –
The yarn is my handspun bamboo fiber, spun as as single, a little over 2 oz., at an avg. 10 wpi, yield – 140ish yds
size 7 knitting needle (I use metal with this yarn, as I like my stitches to slide easily, some woods may be great, I don’t have any great woods) (yet).
Bamboo Scarf – bamboo stitch
The first and last three stitches on each row is a simple garter border – knit every beg 3 and last 3 sts on every row.
CO 24
Ends –
knit 4 rows
pattern
row 1 – k3, (yo, k2,pass the yo over both knit sts) k3
row 2 – k3, purl, k3
Repeat those two rows for as long as you want or are able!
to end
knit 4 rows
The sts in () is the bamboo stitch and is calculated with a multiple of 2 – so add or subtract to make it as wide as you wish. This scarf is about 4 in wide. I don’t think it will get as long as I would like and I would plan to use more toward 3 oz. and 180 – 200 yards of yarn next time, for this pattern.
Happy Knittin! 🙂
