Mail Time

Here's the mail it never fails, it makes me want to wag my tail, and when it comes I wanna wail MAIL!

Having a baby makes the mail man work very hard. We are still getting wonderful, thoughtful packages for that little tadpole. (Have you seen her three month pictures on her blog? They were so much fun to take this month. We love getting mail for her, but yarny mail is even more fun!

An old friend of mine is close to launching his own little bamboo clothing line and found some bamboo yarn and thought of me. I think he was a bit dissapointed to learn that I already knew about bamboo yarn, and had even knit a sweater with 100% bamboo yarn, but this yarn is new to me.

The yarn is from EcoDesignz. Worsted weight, 280 yards in that little ball! Now I've got to get designing. It was designated as something for Kaya, so I'll have to make a cute little springy sweater for her... after I clear something else off of the plate! I'll be sure to let you all know what I think of this new yarn, but first impressions are looking good! It's many plies, but woven together so they won't split... that was the worst thing with the Classic Elite Bamboo yarn. I think we may have a winner here.

Is there anyone else out there that's seen or worked with this yarn before? I'd love to hear your comments.
