It’s Crochet Swatch Saturday! The yarn is silky smooth… the audio? Not so much. Stick with me despite the audio gremlins trying to stop Crochet Swatch Saturday! 😆🎧 ✨🧶 Crochet Swatch Saturday 🧶✨
Yarn: Loops & Threads Heathered Bamboo
Colorway: Pine
Where to Buy: Michaels
Hook Size Used: 4.5 mm
🔥 The Tea on This Yarn:
- Fiber Content: 53% acrylic, 47% bamboo – an interesting blend that may overcome the worst of both fibers 7/10
- Color Range: 12, a decent start but I’d love to see more. 8/10
- Frogability: Easy peasy as long as it didn’t get split 8/10
- Splitting: (Insert tears of disappointment) Yep, especially on double crochet. Probably not as bad as Truboo though. 4/10.
- Stitch Definition: Um, it’s there but the yarn color pattern obscures it 7/10
- Feel: Just what I dreamed of. 10/10
- Drape: Absolutely the best for a worsted yarn 10/10
- Washability: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low 10/10
- Warnings or concerns: OMG, the yarn barf!! And let’s not get started on that untwisting as it comes out. 5/10
- Price: Pretty average 8/10
✨ Overall verdict: 7.7 Fun fact: Bamboo yarn is naturally *antibacterial and odor-resistant*! The bamboo plant contains a substance called “bamboo kun,” which helps it resist pests and fungi — and that property actually carries over into the yarn. So not only is it silky and drapey, it also helps keep your handmade pieces fresher for longer! 🌿✨
