Glossy, delightful bamboo meets soft and fine cotton!
A special yarn in 100% natural materials has been made and it’s a dream to work with.
Rainbow Bamboo consists partly of cotton of very high quality and partly of a viscose which is spun on bamboo fibers.
Bamboo fiber is very strong and adds extra durability to the cotton. It is also breathable and regulates temperature. If you are allergic to wool or animal fibers, Rainbow Bamboo can be a really great alternative.
The delightful materials are soft and comfortable against the skin, which makes Rainbow Bamboo especially suitable for all forms of clothing, carpets, and other interior projects.
With the added weight, knitted and crocheted pieces in Rainbow Bamboo gain a certain fall that is beautiful and keeps its shape. Remember to let it flat-dry after washing.
PS: Rainbow Bamboo is really suitable for dishcloths, but the cloths can and should be washed at 60°C (140°F).
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

I love this yarn! I tried it for the first time recently, wanting to try a bamboo blend, and feeling hesitant because I’d heard that bamboo in general is hard to work with, but that’s not at all the case with this yarn! It’s nice and light, and the cotton blend helps give it more structure. It’s so soft and smooth, it practically detangles itself! My only issue, as a centre pull crocheter, was that the ball would start to fall apart about halfway through and I would often need to rewind it but once I got used to using it and remembered not to move it around too much once I’d started, it was fine. I made a cardigan with two colours, it came out much heavier than I’d expected given how light each ball felt, but will be a wonderful spring/fall weight.

AMAZING Product! I still can’t believe Denmark to a small island town in SC, USA in 4 days! I was a little nervous ordering and for no reason. I couldn’t get this product and selection of colors anywhere! The product is wonderful, soft, doesn’t split at all and fun to work with. I am using two strands to do a blended, lightweight throw and it is working beautifully! I have to pace myself because it’s fun to work with. This product seems to go a long way as well. I think I will have way more than I need! This is now my only yarn store and I have sent the link to all my knitting friends! Thank you for the wonderful service!

Love this yarn! It is nice and smooth which makes it easy to crochet (just the right balance to be neither slippery nor stiff). I have not ordered a color that I didn’t like yet (and I have 10 of the colors!). The photos have accurate colors, but lighting does change things so, I’d recommend looking at the images people provided to get a better sense of the color depth. Sometimes the skeins come a little disarrayed - if so, be patient and methodical at rewinding and you will be much happier than if you dive in and start pulling. Happy crocheting, knitting, weaving!

LOVE THIS YARN...
This yarn comes in wonderful colors. I purchased 8 skeins of this yarn and it has not disappointed me at all. The yarn has a subtle sheen, which gives great stitch definition. It's soft to the hand and very easy to work with. The yarn is very durable, but has a great drape. My first project was a baby blanket, and I thought the combo of cotton and bamboo would be great since they live in a warm climate. Second prooject will be a Tshirt for myself . I will definitely purchase this again. Highly recommend!!!

I originally made a baby bonnet with this yarn and fell in love! So when I found out one of my co-workers was having a baby this year, I knew I needed to make a blanket with this gorgeous yarn. I downloaded the "Lux Bamboo Baby blanket" pattern and put my own spin on it. I think it is beautiful and definitely unique!! She will NOT get another blanket like this one. It will be warm without being too heavy for the little one and since she is due in late Spring, this will be perfect!
