do you sometimes feel that the cotton and cotton/poly (80/20) has a stiffer hand? i like it, but to me it does feel stiff. the bamboo is fluffier and from what i've heard, very warm. you can also quilt a little further apart with the bamboo.
in the ne, bamboo has become an invasive pest plant and hard to control. people grew them as living fences and now their yards are filled with bamboo. so it's a VERY renewable source. it grows like weeds, which in the usa, it is. so i love the idea of using it.
the other good one is quilter's dream GREEN. king uses up 28 green plastiic 2-litre soda bottles, and the energy it takes to make the batting still saves energy as well as keeping things out of the landfills fpr a while. i believe they will also send samples for a fee. REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE!
wasn't that the idea behind quilting?
