Product Description
Here's the thing about bamboo:
To the best of our knowledge, our "Rayon Bamboo" products are made from 100% Bamboo (or for socks, 94% Bamboo rayon and 6% Spandex). There is a debate raging about how or if bamboo rayon is really "anti-bacterial", "sustainable", or "earth frendly", and if it is better or worse than other fibers for you and the planet.
We don't know! We just sell socks! We're like, sock guys, not scientists. The only claim we make is that your feet will be warmer with socks. Also, if you dye and decorate them, your feet will look better!
There is a lot of information available on this topic on the internet. Check it out if it interests you.
Wow, we scored a good one for you! Bamboo rayon socks are great for several reasons:
• They're soft, soft, soft!
• Rumor has it that bamboo rayon fibers are both highly absorbent and possibly bacteria resistant. What better qualities are there for a sock, we ask.
• Bamboo itself is a very renewable resource that grows fast without chemicals and pesticides.
• Still cellulose, so they dye beautifully with our Fiber Reactive Dyes.
We weren't originally serious about them because we thought they would be too expensive but we were able to get a really good price on these as they are basic summer weight socks. Nothing fancy in design, mind you, but that's your job! They are 94% pure Bamboo rayon that has been developed in the same way other Rayon fiber is, but made from bamboo, and 6% Spandex for stretch.
Bamboo socks come in packs of 3 pair.
Prices are per pack of 3 pair.
Each pack counts as 1 item for discounts.

There are so many great things to say about these socks.
1. I cannot keep them in stock.
2. Ecologicaly sound.
3. Takes dye extremely well.
4. Very soft.
5. Wears like iron.
6. Seems to be less likely to slip on smooth floors than cotton or acrylics.
7. Lycra well hidden, much better than in most cotton socks, very important in dyeing.
8. Well, I COULD go on and on.
9. ORDER EXTRA!!!!!

ORDER MORE THAN YOU NEED, THEY DO GET BACK ORDERED OFTEN!!

These socks dye well - no visible nylon! - and they are comfortably sized, not too tight on normal-width feet.

These are very soft and comfortable! I dyed mine with procion dyes and they are just beautiful. Everyone loves the unusual colors so I am buying more for gifts.

These are AWESOME. I can't wait to order more. I ordered the larger size (all that was in stock) and they are a little to big for me (women's size 9), but still workable.

**ATTN: TIE DYERS**
For some reason, the "spandex" threading leaves visible white throughout the socks after having been dyed properly. Spandex is a clear material so I am confused as to what's leaving the trace of white. This is a problem for dyers.

Best Socks in the Seven Universes!
I take them off at night and for once my feet don't smell like some over-the-hill Camembert. They wear out a titch faster than cotton or acrylic, but then I never need to buy stenchy athlete's foot powder any more, so *shrug*. And they're kitten soft, too! Never stop carrying these, Dharma...puhLEEZ!

So far I have sold over 50 pairs of these socks, hand dyed, of course! They are comfy, warm, they don't make your feet sweat, and they dye brilliantly. I use a tube to dye them made into a "machine" my husband designed, and that makes dying them even easier. Great!

dye great, but what a learning curve! Much different than dyeing flat fabric, but the colors and the blends are a treat!

I've worn them once; found them comfortable. I haven't had a chance to try dyeing them yet.

I couldn't love these more. I bought them after I got some for my children - I was envious. They are so soft, but are not floppy or apt to get out of shape.
