The addition of the bamboo makes the yarn a crisp, white colour with just a hint of shine. We recommend acid dyes for this yarn as the bamboo is well blended with the Merino and it does not impact on the dye-ability. The colours appear bright, and it speckles well. The resulting fabric is super neat with even stitch definition, and just a little more drape than a 100% Merino. This would make a pretty, summer garment. Boo 4ply can be used for socks if a tight gauge (2.25mm) is used.
