amaizing bamboo cornucopia

a new vegan alternative to animal-based fibres:  a couple of companies, kollage yarns and south west trading company now offer yarn from corn.  SWTC also has a 100% bamboo yarn.  don't know how either of those measure up in green terms, though.

Bamboo I've run across before (and have 3 skeins of herb-dyed stuff waiting to made into something fabulous), but CORN!!!??!?? Wow. The world is ever so weird and wonderful.

The soy silk is fabulous, and it's made from tofu waste byproducts which I think is great. It's a bit spendy, though.
