Bamboo- a Renewable Resource

Bamboo can be used to make anything from fiber to floors. Bamboo is considered a renewable resource because it can reach a mature height of 75 feet in two months. Eco-friendly bamboo is so versatile that it’s used in Moda Dea® Bamboo Wool™ AND Susan Bates® Bamboo knitting needles and crochet hooks.

Bamboo Facts:
- naturally anti-bacterial
- odor resistant
- breathable and cool
- 3 times more absorbent than cotton
- durable and strong with a silky hand

Soft Silky Drape & Felts, too!
Moda Dea Bamboo Wool with it’s luxurious hand perfect for shawls and wraps. Its rich colors, soft sheen and amazing drape make every project extra special. Bamboo Wool is also great for felting.

Needlecrafter’s appreciate the silky smoothness and elegant appearance of bamboo implements. Reasons why needlecrafters love Bamboo knitting needles and crochet hooks:

-Bamboo needles and hooks are very lightweight and feel warm in your hands. Very beneficial to people with arthritis or repetitive strain injuries.
-Bamboo needles have more friction keeping slippery yarn on the needles better than metal.
-Stitches glide effortlessly over hooks.

The product range includes 13” single-point knitting needles in eleven sizes, four sizes of 8” double point knitting needles in sets of five and crochet hooks in seven sizes. Crochet hooks are available in solid bamboo and with a bamboo comfort handle and aluminum head.
