Wool Bam Boo Scallop Lace Cardi

Designed by: Linda Wilgus 50% wool, 50% bamboo I love Wool Bam Boo the softness, the drape and exquisite stitch definition makes it the perfect yarn for sweaters, scarves or just about anything. Its not too heavy, and not too thin at 512 stitches to the inch, its just right. The wool component adds a touch of elasticity, bounce and a slight halo to the yarn, and the bamboo adds the elegant drape and subtle sheen an ideal combination of fibers.
