Thanks so much, Maria. This is good news indeed. I've also used the bamboo and love it, but the price makes it prohibitive for all but really special projects (of course, all projects are special, right?) And, LaceLady, according to the company website, after the recycling process the batting is green because that's the color of the majority of bottles used. They cut down on the processing by leaving it that color. Maria, you've never had a problem with the green showing through? It's not that dark, right?
