Sorry, I only used wading bamboo and it is fantastic for patchwork. Good luck.

Recently I buyed some balls, and I recommend it. It's super soft and it's easy to work.

I love bamboo yarn. It has beautiful shine and drape but no stretch. It is also available very cheap in lots of lovely colours and is machine washable.

I used %50 bamboo and %50 cotton yarn in one of my project, it feels like silky whe crockheting and it's more shiny than pure cotton. I recomend you to use without hesitation.

I recently did up a pair of socks in a bamboo sock yarn.  For socks I've found that the bamboo has not kept it's shape as well as wool, but so far, other than that, they are wearing well.  They are warm on my feet though and comfortable.  They also feel softer on my feet than the wool socks I've knit so far.  The yarn I used was manufactured over 10 years ago, so I'm sure manufacturers have improved their blends and processes since mine was made.  I'm finally working on getting my stash down so my experience might not match up with a newer yarn.
