Regia bamboo.




Wolle Hartmuth (that I just know is going to bleed horrendously like the last pair in this yarn Crying or Very sad )

Wow, another person who knits socks quickly!
They look wonderful.
Was the bamboo nice to knit with?

Regia bamboo is much less scratchy to knit than the Opal, but it was quite splitty.

both pairs look great! The Bamboo looks really lovely, and the other pair is so cheery - I hope the colours don't bleed though, fingers crossed Very Happy

Great socks! Very Happy Hope the striped pair hold their colours after washing.

I love the silkiness of Regia Bamboo. It doesn't hold its shape anywhere near as well as other sock yarns, but it's so soft....

both pairs are beautiful and I wish I could knit socks that fast!...they may be small but they seem to take me forever.
