Hi,
Has anyone seen this? I was at the Scarborough store yesterday and happened to come across it. Two rolls looked like Warm and Natural, Warm and White. They had three other rolls marked (on the sign) something like Chill, Ev and Bamboo. If the bottom one was bamboo, it sure felt nice and soft. It was a zoo in there or I would have asked someone about the two I didn't recognize...
Just wondering if anyone has seen this, bought this and/or used this?
Thanks in advance,
lots2do

I just finished a quilt throw with bamboo batting. It literally drove me crazy. I didn't wash it first so that might have been the cause, but it shed terribly while I was trying to do machine quilting (I had about 2 inches sticking out around the 4 sides). The dark colors in my quilt were covered with the bamboo hairs. I had to keep using the lint brush. It also would pop up through the needle holes. Once I washed my completed quilt - I had little balls of the batting all over the quilt & had to use the lint brush. If I would have washed it first, my washer could have been covered with that lint! urgggggg!
