This is a 60/30/10% blend of Merino/Bamboo/Nylon. Soft and shiny. Remember that bamboo has memory like cotton (as in none), so care to get the gauge correct should be taken. The merino does provide a bit of stretch. The drape of this also makes it suitable for shawl knitting.

Machine or hand wash cold, dry flat.
