Fibre blend. Crystal Palace Bamboo Soy's bamboo gives a great feel and a lustre, the soy adds a soft, silky 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.
Mint-based colour. The Mint Print colourway has a cool minty light green as its base colour, with highlights of mustard yellow, lavender and peach. View all colourways of Crystal Palace Bamboo Soy
