Today I am reviewing Eden Madil Print, a 100% bamboo yarn in my stash. I bought it so long ago, that I fear that it is no longer in production. I am currently making a shawl with it, so I thought that I would review it anyways. I love the colorway that I chose. I chose it because it reminded me of my beloved Pacific Ocean of the Bodega Bay that I grew up near and am so fond of. It goes from grey to blue green to kind of a turquoise color. Fantastic. It drapes well. I mean really well. Almost too well. The down side is the drape. It is almost like working with seaweed. I know the irony. Ocean. Seaweed. I get it. Also, the yarn is kind of splitty. On the whole, I think it bamboo is best mixed with another fiber to retain shape. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. ( I took pics but can't find my cable. Pics to follow.)
