Is Bamboo Yarn or Fiber Flammable?
This was a little tough to find a specific answer.
After researching the Internet, I would have to say that the answer is "Maybe."
I found the following information on the Bamboo Clothes site (they also sell Bamboo yarn):
Almost all polyester/cotton blend fabrics are finished with formaldehyde, a carcinogen, added to make fabrics wrinkle or flame resistant. Our bamboo blends have no such chemical applications, and are all in compliance with, and have passed, the Class 1 flammability requirements for JCPenney, the Flammable Fabrics Act and Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles.
In contrast, one reviewer posted on the Knitter's Review forum that they thought Bamboo yarn had a tendency to flare.
You could try an experiment (carefully) like the Knitting Fiend to see how easily (or not) bamboo yarn catches on fire.
The safest bet, if you are concerned about bamboo yarn not being flame resistant, is to use bamboo yarn for clothes instead of for bedding.

Nice lens. I am allergic to wool so I like to use cotton and I have some bamboo to try.

I think I've found my new favourite trend, but I am interested to find out how flammable bamboo yarn is. Is it safe to use for baby blankets, for example?
