Just in time for spring, we’ve got a fresh supply of Universal Bamboo Pop!
Universal Bamboo Pop:
- DK weight
- solid and variegated shades
- 50% cotton, 50% bamboo

Can you tell me if either Real Cotton or Bamboo pop are machine dry able as well as washable? I am making baby sweaters and the moms are looking for something they can both machine was and dry. Also, if you have any other yarns that can be put in the machines, I would appreciate knowing about them.
Thanks!

Hi Trisha, great questions – Berroco Modern Cotton and Universal Bamboo Pop are both machine-washable, but suggest laying flat to dry. Berroco’s Ultra Wool yarns and Ewe Ewe yarns are both machine-washable, tumble dry low – those are the only yarns we carry that suggest machine-drying. Let us know if we can answer more questions, or come by the shop to see these yarns for yourself!
