Kaleido is 100% Vegetable.
92% Bamboo for a very soft thread and 8% Linen for a work that holds its shape.
Why use linen in bamboo? Bamboo is supple, fluid, and drapes well. It's antibacterial and soothing, improving our well-being. Linen is very durable and doesn't warp.
Bamboo is so soft. Ideal for baby clothes, scarves, comforters, children's sweaters, stoles, etc. Adults who want a more structured piece, such as a sweater or jacket, will choose Kaléïdo 92% Bamboo + 8% Linen for extra hold, while remaining 100% plant-based.
Kaléïdo knitting yarn can be replaced by Fruit Salad (50% organic cotton - 50% bamboo) and vice versa.
