What is bamboo yarn?

When you are choosing yarn for your next knitting or crochet project, there are several factors you need to be informed about. This includes, among other things, the yarn's ability to retain heat, whether it is washable, as well as factors such as health and environment.

The last-mentioned factors have become extra important for many hobby enthusiasts in recent years, and yarn is therefore being produced in an increasingly more eco-conscious way.

Bamboo yarn is made from vegetable fibres that are much healthier for our environment compared to the classic yarn types that are often extracted from animal fibres.

The benefits of choosing bamboo yarn for your creative projects

Due to the great focus on the environment and sustainability, more and more yarn manufacturers are producing their products from vegetable fibres. The vegetable fibres are reminiscent in shape and texture of grass that is light and airy.

If you already live an eco-conscious lifestyle, bamboo yarn will be just the right choice for you. You can choose from a lot of different colours, and it can be used for making knitwear for both children and adults.

One of the most significant benefits is that bamboo yarn (when used for clothing) allows the body to breathe to a much greater extent.

In addition, it is antibacterial, so it can be used by any person regardless of skin type.

How bamboo yarn is manufactured

Bamboo yarn undergoes a different and much less extensive type of processing before being made into strands. Bamboo fibres are degradable and have a naturally high abrasion resistance. You do not have to worry about having to take extra care of your jumper or your kids' hats when they are made of bamboo yarn. The high quality makes the yarn suitable for clothing and accessories.

Some yarn types will be a mix of bamboo and cotton. Here, you get the best of both materials. Cotton is a skin-friendly, breathable and soft material that has the same properties as bamboo. Cotton is able to give the bamboo yarn a fine and smooth structure, which makes it easy to work with.
