Thanks for the link, D!</p> <p>I know! It’s astonishing isn’t it! But no, I haven’t truly crossed paths with bamboo socks before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253766 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 22:10:26 +0000 delurked 2253766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rachy,</p> <p>Delurking to say I remember your love of socks and socks and socks. How have you never tried bamboo socks before now? I enjoy bamboo a lot. I find them very soft and silky. They last fine, but not the longest wearing. They won't be the warmest. I like them when I can find them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Link along these lines...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jjill.com/product/rayon-from-bamboo-blend-crew-socks-071531-1?color=BKX&amp;searchTerm=socks">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....archTerm=s</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253750 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 19:43:29 +0000 rachylou 2253750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253719 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 15:59:51 +0000 Zaeobi 2253719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the alpaca tip! Peruvian Connection sells some cool but pricey alpaca socks that I've always avoided, just because I assumed they would be itchy (like mohair)... </p> <p>...Once you start buying nicer socks though, it can be addictive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253691 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 08:06:46 +0000 Sally 2253691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love bamboo socks.&nbsp; They are so soft.&nbsp; I have leggings too made from bamboo but find cotton better in terms of wearing as the bamboo is getting thin.&nbsp; Bamboo undies are great too.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253662 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 03:29:54 +0000 Anonymous 2253662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not tried Bamboo socks but am willing to try them. Right now my favorite socks are smart wool without padding or Hue metallics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253620 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 20:53:37 +0000 Jonesy 2253620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never tried bamboo socks, but we do have a bamboo throw and it's very soft and durable and washes well, so I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253614 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 20:38:09 +0000 rachylou 2253614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m liking the idea of something between cotton amd wool. Alpaca is the softest wool I know of. My other wool socks feel like walking on cheese graters. I’m over them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253536 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 08:37:39 +0000 Zaeobi 2253536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been accumulating coloured &amp; patterned socks over the years! Have 5 bamboo ones from Sockshop (via TK Maxx) &amp; only now are *some* of them starting to develop tiny holes after 3-4 years. So pretty good wear, considering! </p> <p>I've never used alpaca socks before - are they itchy? That's why I've only ventured into merino wool so far in clothing - can't stand itchiness! </p> <p>(I'd say bamboo is between cotton &amp; wool, a bit thicker than modal - they work fine for milder temps but sometimes I will have to 'double wrap' them (with a thicker sock on top) if temps dip below ~10C). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253504 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 01:48:49 +0000 Jaime 2253504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been obsessed with socks lately too! Reading with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253501 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 00:27:08 +0000 Carla 2253501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No experience with bamboo - sorry. &nbsp;My favourite socks are alpaca as well. &nbsp;A gift. &nbsp;Or sure who makes them. &nbsp;Like <b>Unfrumped’s</b> mystery bamboo socks, mine just say “Alpaca’ on the side of the foot part.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253482 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 21:41:26 +0000 Rebecca Anne 2253482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh didn't know Bamboo socks existed!! So I read in the comments that they are thicker and softer than cotton, so is it safe to assume that they are warmer? I live in a cold place so it would fit me very well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253476 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 19:41:25 +0000 rachylou 2253476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok! Seem worth a go! I feel I used to be able to wear ‘rougher’ socks and I didn’t notice: now I do. I have these wool socks (not the alpaca) that now feel like they’ve beek knitted from wire. They’re in fine condition, they’re just not a fine yarn… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253463 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 16:27:22 +0000 slim cat 2253463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. I prefer cotton/modal or cotton ones since some bamboo tees gave me overheated reaction similar to poly ( depends on the brand I guess ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253461 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 16:06:12 +0000 Joyce B 2253461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute socks. They will be more like cotton, I would not expect them to be warm. I would check that the seam is not thick and tough. Let us know if you order them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253460 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:58:40 +0000 jacquez 2253460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several pairs from Foot Traffic -- they seem to be discontinued now, but mine have held up for years and years. they're soft and tough. I have them in a lightweight version for summer and a heavier version as well -- was just wearing the heavier ones yesterday.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253455 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:40:45 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2253455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't tried socks, but I don't think Bamboo will be anywhere near as warm as alpaca. Bamboo does have natural antibacterial properties, though- so great for sweaty feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253453 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 15:07:48 +0000 Angie 2253453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have bamboo yoga leggings that are fab! I vote try the cute socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253448 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 13:35:01 +0000 unfrumped 2253448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I live them but have not tried that brand.<br /> I have a pair of black socks with word BAMBOO printed on each toe- have had for years, maybe got at TJMAXX? They work perfectly with a sneaker I use only indoors for exercises, so I’ve kept them focused on that. They are soft but with just enough thickness for my bunion- weary feet.<br /> I would love to duplicate but have not found similar online, &amp; haven’t pulled trigger on other types.<br /> I would prefer to see some IRL, to feel the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253447 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 13:23:38 +0000 RobinF 2253447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! I've never had bamboo socks but I know bamboo yarns are very soft so makes sense socks would be soft.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253440 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 12:30:54 +0000 Anonymous 2253440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No experience but those are sure cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253430 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 10:21:11 +0000 Mirjana 2253430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have them, and also tights and can say that I am very satisfied, soft and warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253429 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 09:29:17 +0000 Aurore 2253429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several pairs of bamboo socks by Thought, and I love them. They're very soft (almost silky), not too thin (I agree with RoseandJoan that they're thicker than cotton) and as of now they're proving rather durable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253428 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 08:37:47 +0000 RoseandJoan 2253428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them Rachylou, I have some from Bam (well actually they send me a pair around my birthday for being a customer). I find them to be slightly thicker than cotton, very soft but they do take slightly longer to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bamboo-socks#post-2253427 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 08:34:29 +0000 rachylou 2253427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anyone tried bamboo socks? I’m wondering how soft and how warm they are. I saw an ad from Baggu for bamboo socks. I know, I’m slightly obsessed with socks! My favourite socks right now are alpaca. </p>
