Bamboo Queen Performance: bamboo and cotton yarn for fresh and soft knitting
Bamboo Queen is the ideal yarn for those looking to create lightweight, breathable garments and accessories with a natural finish. Made by the Bulgarian brand Performance, this yarn combines 70% bamboo viscose and 30% cotton, two plant-based fibres that offer an exceptional knitting experience.
With a balanced twist and light-to-medium weight, Bamboo Queen works beautifully for both knitting and crochet, providing excellent stitch definition for lace and textured patterns. It feels like silk but comes at an accessible, sustainable price point.
Unlike synthetic fibres, this yarn is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, perfect for those who prioritise low-impact materials without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
Bamboo Queen is ideal for warm climates, sensitive skin and flowing garments
Bamboo Queen is designed for warm months and for skin that needs soft, irritation-free fabrics. Its blend of viscose and cotton feels cool to the touch, allowing the skin to breathe and avoiding heat build-up.
It is also highly absorbent and antibacterial, making it perfect for baby clothes, summer tops, t-shirts, shawls, lightweight scarves or accessories.
When blocked, the fabric gains an even more elegant drape, enhancing lacework and openwork patterns.
