Bamboo grows really quickly there. You can find sellers on ebay all the time with reasonable pricing as I did.  I blogged about this find months ago in a post about shopping for yarn. I only have one ball of it left. It's time to start shopping again for this yarn.  It's been too long. I would really like more of this type which is 70% bamboo 30% cotton. It's so luxurious and drapey.  As a beginner it was a bit challenging and tricky to work with it. Perhaps I have improved after a year?

About one year ago I purchased yarn from China.  Loved the results.  I keep thinking about it desiring to have more of it. It's a luxury to have.  One blend was 70% bamboo 30% cotton (silky to touch; somewhat stringy to work with; not for a beginner really).  The other was a cashmere milky cotton blend (gorgeous soft).  I have made fingerless gloves, a beanie hat, and other stuff.
