Soft Bamboo Double is a super soft mix of bamboo and cotton. Add a little bit of acrylic!
The thread consists of 70% bamboo, which makes the yarn the softest you have ever experienced and gives it a special light weighted feel. It is pleasant on the skin and is therefore also a very child friendly yarn, which has a great dimensional stability. The bamboo’s fibers are naturally silky soft and smooth – which makes the thread incredibly delicate. The texture and silk-like properties give knitted projects a beautiful fall. The 23% cotton and 7% acrylic help to hold the soft bamboo fibers together and give the yarn a good shape retention.
We absolutely recommend Soft Bamboo Double for crocheting projects for e.g. baby things. The AZO certificate validates that the yarn has undergone a regime of tests and has been approved according to applicable European legislation.
Bamboo and the environment – bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world and is therefore a fantastic source of sustainable production.
Bamboo releases more oxygen than any other plant and grows without the use of pesticides.
Soft Bamboo comes in two thicknesses – “fine” and “double”. Soft Bamboo Fine consists of 6 x 2 fine threads and runs 180 meters (197 yds) on 50g (1.75 oz) – recommended needles 3 – 3.5. Soft Bamboo Double consists of 9 x 2 fine threads and runs 115 (126 yds) meters on 50g (1.75 oz) – and we recommend needles 3-4.
In other words, if you want to make a slightly ‘lighter’ knit or crocheted project, then we recommend using “fine”. However, if you wish to make a sweater that is good all year round, then we recommend using “double”.

This yarn is so soft and shiny! I am making a blanket for my husband with it. The only difficulty with it is that the strands make it a bit challenging not the split the yarn while knitting. The pattern I used was Ina Wendrock’s pattern from Ravelry called “Tahesha the Dragoness”. I haven’t wet blocked the square yet so it’s a bit uneven (this was also my first attempt to make something this complex). I will be adding the photo ( I don’t know how to attach it to my review on this site.)

This bamboo yarn is beautiful. I’ve used other brands of bamboo and found this is better quality with a tighter wrap on the yarn if that makes sense. It splits less as a result. It’s incredibly soft, beautiful rich colour and gives projects a lovely drape and stitch definition.

The yarn is just as I hoped -- supple and with a soft sheen. The color selection was just as it appeared on the website, which isn't always the case when ordering online. I'm making a light summer sweater and can't wait to see it finished! Thank you Hobbii!

This yarn is lovely and soft and incredibly drapey. Perfect for items that will touch sensitive skin. Bonus that it has a lovely sheen, and the colors are gorgeous.
