Bamboo Yarn

Bamboo yarn was quite popular not too long ago, but then people started discovering that it's not quite what it was touted to be. But, don't totally diss it yet -- there are a number of bamboo and other fiber blends out there that seem to enhance bamboo's ups (like its softness and natural antiseptic properties) while counteracting its downs (pure bamboo-yarn-made items tend to stretch a lot). One great combination is bamboo and wool -- soft, not itchy, and keeps its shape nicely.
