What makes Rico Design Bamboo Wool stand out
The blend of polyamide and wool with viscose gives the yarn a subtle sheen and a pleasant hand feel, while the 2–3 mm needle size range keeps the fabric neither too dense nor too open. The 100 g skein weight is standard for sock yarn, ensuring consistent tension across projects.
Ideal for...
Knitters who enjoy making their own socks, whether for personal use or as handmade gifts. The olive green shade works well in solid-colour pairs or as a contrast element in multi-colour sock designs.
