Website description: HOKKAIDO is a special treat for the senses. Lustrous bamboo shimmers within a halo of tussah (wild) silk loops, softy emanating the eloquent complexity of nature. But don’t be intimidated -- this is an easy yarn to work with, even for new knitters and crocheters! Many of our customers have made scarves from HOKKAIDO on much larger needles, so feel free to experiment. Within HOKKAIDO you will discover a treasure that is yours alone.
