Bamboo yarns – Softness, freshness and sustainability
At Garmonyarns, we offer yarns with bamboo, a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly plant fibre. Bamboo stands out for its silky feel, freshness, breathability and natural strength.
Bamboo is rarely used as a single fibre (although 100% bamboo options are available); it is usually blended with cotton or linen to improve workability and provide a more balanced structure, without losing its softness, lightness and natural shine.
This category currently includes:
▷ PERFORMANCE – Bamboo Queen, a yarn that combines cotton and bamboo, ideal for knitting light, cool, comfortable garments with a beautiful satin finish.

How is bamboo yarn used?
✔️ Tips for use:

- ▷ Always make a sample first to adjust the tension, as bamboo gives a drape and lightness.
- ▷ Bear in mind that bamboo has little natural elasticity, making it ideal for loose, flowing garments.

✔️ Care:
- ▷ Hand wash in cold water or on a delicate cycle (see product label).
- ▷ Dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- ▷ Do not tumble dry.
- ▷ Iron at low or medium temperature if necessary, always with a protective cloth.
