Bamboo Yarn

Bamboo yarn is viscose spun from bamboo pulp: cool against the skin, slightly lustrous, and with a drape close to silk. Blended with superwash merino it makes a sock yarn that shines; with cotton and elastic it makes a wool-free sock that still stretches.

It has little bounce on its own, so look to the blend for structure and knit a swatch before a fitted garment.
