Bamboo yarn for socks?
Just started socks to be made as a gift, and I noticed the yarn is 75% wool and 25% bamboo not nylon as I thought. Will this make a sock that will wear well with no nylon?

If they were for me, I would consider it an experiment, but since they are a gift, I want to be sure I'm giving something worth giving!

Thanks.

PS The yarn is TREKKING PRO NATURA

What little bit of searching I did says that the bamboo is added to make a stronger yarn so I would think that it would be great for socks. I didn't see any washing instructions.
