Fibre blend. Crystal Palace Bamboo Cotton's bamboo gives a great feel and a lustre, the cotton adds a soft core and the elastic nylon retains the shape and makes it wear well for socks. Soft and cuddly. The yarn construction has a kink to it, like there's a bit of curl in the component fibres. When twisted together, the fibres combine to make a soft, huggable yarn that would be perfect for baby garments, but is also durable enough for a great pair of socks.
Brown spots. The Pinto Pony colourway knits up with little spots of greenish brown, rust and grey on a on a beige background.
