Fibre Company - Canopy Fingering

Bamboo is desirable as a sustainable resource but also adds incredible sheen and strength to the Canopy Fingering blend.  It's named after the canopies in the tropical rain forests of Africa, one of the many diverse climates bamboo thrives in.  The color palette is designed to be reminiscent of the fauna and flora of these tropical ecosystems.  We love the heady mix of bright, rich duotones that resulted. A mix of alpaca, bamboo and merino means a soothing drape with a cozy warmth too. The 3 ply of Canopy Fingering provides good stitch definition that means it works well for both colorwork and textured knits.
