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.

The bamboo yarn is sinfully textured. I nearly bought some just to touch.

Be vewy careful! That how the yarn addiction starts!

As for durability, the corn yarn review was favorable for washing, so if I find some, I may have to try it.
