Truboo/Nuboo Yarn Review

I tried Truboo yarn as soon as it came out. It is wonderfully soft, light, and fun to work with. While Truboo is made from 100% bamboo, Nuboo is made from 100% lyocell. They are both great options for summer projects. Just keep in mind that Truboo is a #3 DK weight, while Nuboo is a #4 worsted weight.

I recommend purchasing these yarns either online on the Lion Brand Website, or at Joann’s (either online or in store). Joann’s is a great option if you like to touch and feel your yarn before purchasing.
