Bamboo Pop Sock yarn has been an amazing yarn to work with. It has such lovely drape and the PBT filament in it keeps it elastic and the garment doesn’t sag or grow throughout the day. Yesterday, I worked up socks at a very tight gauge. Today I’m looking at…
While this week we’ve been exploring using Universal Yarn Bamboo Pop Sock yarn for everything but socks, I thought it would be amiss for me not to include a design for you to try. Yesterday, we looked at two stitches which imitate crochet, and I include them in this design…
