Eco-Bamboo

Knit with attitude is so excited to be introducing the wonderful hand dyed, eco-friendly yarns of Nurturing Fibres. Nurturing Fibres is an Eco-friendly yarn range, hand dyed near Cape Town by Carle Dehning and her team. Nurturing fibres strive to conserve as much energy and waste during their production process. They make use of borehole water that is heated by solar power for their dye baths. After dyeing, the PH levels in the dyebaths are neutralized and the water is used to irrigate an olive grove near the dye studio. Their whole production process, from receiving the spun yarn, is done by hand.

Nurturing Fibres Eco-Bambo is as stunning to work with as it looks. It has a gorgeous drape and a lustrous shine, however due to its twist this Bamboo yarn will 'sag' less than the usual Bamboo yarns and will keep it's shape, this also gives a well defined stitch definition.
