Sold out.
(Need more skeins than are in stock? Go ahead
and order and we'll dye them up fresh for you!)
Maia simply is breathtaking!
With 80% bamboo, its sheen is divine and its drape is just incredible -- it hangs like a waterfall and swings and sways as you move. And the way Maia takes colour gives it an amazing "iced" appearance that is nothing short of head-turning!
"OMG the drape!" -- Amy Maceyko, designer of the Fascia Shawl
Try it on larger needles (maybe US7 / 4.5mm) for a lighter-than-air fabric that creates utterly stunning shawls, pullovers, and cardigans.

How does this yarn take colour? Because bamboo does not take on the colour from acid dyes, colourways in Maia are much, much softer than our other fingering yarns, and the sheen gives them a wonderful "iced" appearance that adds to its unique look.
At SpaceCadet, we passionately believe that knitting and crocheting make people happier deep down inside and that nothing does that more than working with gorgeous, vibrant yarn. For us, dyeing is a cosmic adventure -- a wonderful process of mixing each shade by hand from primaries and seeing where the colour takes us. The result is yarn that is as exciting for you as it is for us. Come with us and explore the farthest reaches of SpaceCadet colour!
Very Important Stuff: All hand-dyed yarns can vary between and within dyelots and their true beauty is the individuality in every skein. Please be sure to order enough yarn for your project, to reduce the chance of differences between your skeins. If you'd prefer to reduce any variation in your project, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows in your project. Please remember that our photos are as accurate as possible, but the colours you see also depend on your computer monitor's settings. Where there are multiple skeins pictured, each is sold separately.
