I read some of the links and decided I wish I had not bought the bamboo batting I used recently.
I bought it because it was soft and because the shrinkage was less than cotton.
I was making a quilt out of drapery fabric and knew it would not shrink even one thread's worth.
On a related subject, they use bamboo for scaffolding in China and this past weekend I dug up every bit of it in my yard because twice I had speared myself with sprouts I had overlooked.
I think I have permanent scars on my shin and hand from the dang stuff...
Oh, any my dog digs it up and eats it.
