I was scared to ask the price, it was something that they had just gotten in, they have straight bamboo as well, but they found it has a lot of lint, but said that done on a long arm it is still good to work with, it is the hands on using the smaller machines that people were having more issues with it. I have a nice wool sweater but that is it, It is a london fog one and I have had it since I was about 20 and it looks as good now as it did back then. and it is so warm. Not to many sheep around here but cattle, pigs and chickens.
