Fibre blend. Crystal Palace Bamboo Silk's bamboo gives a great feel and a lustre, the wool gives a soft feeling core and the combed silk gives it sheen and strength. The luxurious, silky smoothness of this yarn has to be felt to be believed.

Coordinated colours. Crystal Palace Bamboo Silk's printed colors are all tone-on-tone shades with solid colors coordinated with the solids. The numbers are a clue: color 4001 coordinates with 3001, 4006 with 3006, etc.

Deep greens. The Forest Tones colourway mixes up mid and deep greens for the effect of a pine forest in dappled shade.
