I invite my customers and readers to give me their opinion and preferences on the new 'green' type of yarns that are now coming onto the market. These include bamboo, corn, and soy. Some of these are blended with other fibers which give or strengthen attributes which are desirable in yarns. I have seen bamboo/silk blends and bamboo/merino blends. Also, tencel/merino blends and soy/silk.
Have you got some insight into these yarns? I appreciate your input! This is one of the best ways I learn about new trends, fibers, yarns, methods, etc. , and I have said before that I love writing back and forth with my customers.
This time I invite you to post your comments on this subject here in the blog and perhaps we can begin a dialogue on a new subject.
Thanks so much,
Sheila

I really love the tencel/merino blends because they are shiny and look like silk without the high price.
I have dyed a little with kool-aid and soy silk. I didn't like how it turned out because it didn't soak up as much dye as the wool did. It might be alright with other dyes. I don't know
