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.
Reply:I have knit this yarn and felted it and it felts beautifully - soft, supple, gorgeous - almost like boiled wool in appearance. And I'm a brand new machine knitter! Nothing special - just straight knitting and then into a hot water wash in the washing machine. Try it! Report It

Reply:To felt well a yarn really needs at least 70% wool. It will felt with lower percentages of wool but it takes considerably longer and it doesn't felt as well. If your yarn is 70/30 you can probably felt fairly easily with it.
