Bamboo Yarns FAQs
What is bamboo yarn good for?
Bamboo yarn is incredibly versatile and suitable for a wide range of projects, including summer garments, light shawls and scarves, lacemaking, and many more. Its softness, natural sheen, and excellent drape make it ideal for both clothing and decorative items, providing a luxurious feel to any creation.
Is bamboo yarn better than cotton?
Bamboo yarn is often favoured over cotton for its eco-friendly qualities and superior softness. It is more breathable and has better moisture-wicking properties, which makes it especially good for wearables like summer clothing. Bamboo is also naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for sensitive skin.
Can bamboo yarn be machine washed?
Yes, bamboo yarn can generally be machine washed on a delicate cycle with cool water, but it's important to check the care label for specific washing instructions. To preserve the yarn’s natural softness and sheen, air drying is recommended over machine drying.
Is bamboo yarn safe for babies?
Absolutely! Bamboo yarn is an excellent choice for baby items due to its natural hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties. It’s soft, non-irritating, and provides good thermal regulation, keeping babies comfortable in various temperatures.
