Can bamboo yarn (bamboo wool yarn) be felted?
I saw on the Moda Dea website that they have part bamboo, part wool yarn (called, naturally, Bamboo Wool), and I’m wondering if it is possible to felt it. Additonally, how much wool (percentage wise) must yarn contain in order to be “felt-able”? Is there a minimum percentage of wool that it must have in it? Thanks in advance.
There is bamboo fiber, corn fiber (called Engeo), soy silk, and wood fiber (called Tensel).
I would think you would have to add about 50% natural wool to it to get any of it to felt well.
These new fibers all react the same as silk worm silk. They all feel really similar and spin the same.
You can put silk fibers in felting wools, but more than 50% leaves a few soft spots.
