Snow babies is a fingering weight yarn we came up with for a friend who wanted a white yarn to knit baby shawls, booties and hats for newborns. It had to be soft, warm and all natural.The 50/50 blend of bamboo and 18 micron merino turned out to be just perfect. A 50gm skein has 225 meters of 2 ply yarn which is lots for mitts, booties and hat or a small shawl. It knits up very nicely and feels wonderful. It can be dyed but the bamboo will not take dye as well as the merino. The end color will be lighter then the dye used. This is a very nice yarn for many projects. I will try to get more pictures to post .
