Thanks for the info ... pricewise, it was comparable to W+N. Both were on the giant rolls, being sold by the yard/metre.

An earlier thread here (sometime ago? discussed the environmental issues, though at that time I seem to recall the discussion heading in the direction that it was just as environmentally friendly as all others.

For those that have used bamboo ...
* how does it handle?
* machine? or hand quilting?
* loft?
* drapability?
* shrinkage?
* are there different qualities? blends? etc.
