Beautiful Bamboo

3161_zoom.jpgAt Purl, we received a shipment from Habu Textiles, a Japanese company that makes some of the most unique yarns that I've ever seen. In the shipment were some large hanks of beautiful white bamboo. Bamboo has a lovely drape and sheen and feels silky smooth against your skin.  In fact, a lot of customers at Purl look at it and touch it and think that it is silk.  It's not hairy at all, and since it's a plant fiber, it's much cooler to wear.  Perfect for summer knitting. --Leah

Where can I get this pattern????? I am currently in a play at my university and my director wants me to knit a nightdress, so I gave her a few links including this one, and she's set on me making this. Can you help me?

Hi K.
We are sorry to tell you that we do not have this pattern.
You may be able to adapt one of these patterns to make a nightdress:
