Sneak Preview of new hand knit hose (and a rave review)

Bamboo yarn??!! I'd never heard of this for a fabric. What is it like?

Think "rayon" (viscose) fiber. I'm not sure if it's a similar process, but it has a similar feel.

i have a few pairs of dress socks in bamboo. They've not had much wear, but I like them so far.

Bamboo fiber is supposed to have antibacterial properties, and it's touted as a "green" fiber. Whether its cultivation is sustainable, environmentally sound, etc is still under investigation as I understand it. Having been on the receiving end of a couple of bamboo infestations, I'm trying to keep an open mind.

For instance Paton's Silk Bamboo yarn.
