I had a spinning batt that I purchased a long long time ago, from Loop (on Etsy). The photograph of it alone gave me goose bumps. 100% bamboo. Colorway Mint Chocolate Chip. I mean, come on. Just look at it.
I bought it shortly after I acquired my spinning wheel and promptly put it in the fiber stash, taking it out every so often to drool over it, and then return it to the stash. Frankly, it scared me a little. Wool kind of sticks to itself when you spin it. Bamboo, well, there's not much to hold those fibers together before putting any sort of twist into it. I decided it was time to try it. And I'm quite happy with the results.
It's so shiny and soft. 3 oz turned out a little over 90 yards of worsted weight yarn. I love this color combination something fierce. Now to find a little cowl pattern so I can snuzzle this stuff some more.
With that finished, onto the super sekrit spinning project!
That would be some Spunky Eclectic Corriedale in Rosebud. 4 oz. spun up, 4 to go...
