Why Bam-boozle?
The name has come from the concept of creating a sock yarn without adding nylon, instead Blacker Yarna have used bamboo, which is why they have bamboozled you! Bamboo is a great substitute fibre to use in sock knitting, as it is antibacterial, hypoallergenic, thermo-regulating and absorbs moisture.
For this charming worsted spun blend Blacker Yarns have added 20% bamboo with 40% of Romney and 40% of BFL. These qualities make it a perfect yarn for lightweight summer garments and accessories, and it will give you an extra layer during the winter. It’s a wonderful and dreamy yarn to work with, giving a distinctive stitch definition, ideal for socks, lacy cardigans, shawls, and light weight sweaters.
