Hi,
Has anyone seen this? I was at the Scarborough store yesterday and happened to come across it. Two rolls looked like Warm and Natural, Warm and White. They had three other rolls marked (on the sign) something like Chill, Ev and Bamboo. If the bottom one was bamboo, it sure felt nice and soft. It was a zoo in there or I would have asked someone about the two I didn't recognize...
Just wondering if anyone has seen this, bought this and/or used this?
Thanks in advance,
lots2do

I have used the Bamboo a couple of times. It is very soft, I love it. Sorry, haven't hear of Chill or Ev

I just finished a quilt throw with bamboo batting. It literally drove me crazy. I didn't wash it first so that might have been the cause, but it shed terribly while I was trying to do machine quilting (I had about 2 inches sticking out around the 4 sides). The dark colors in my quilt were covered with the bamboo hairs. I had to keep using the lint brush. It also would pop up through the needle holes. Once I washed my completed quilt - I had little balls of the batting all over the quilt & had to use the lint brush. If I would have washed it first, my washer could have been covered with that lint! urgggggg!

good to know - I'm glad you experimented for us - I stick to 80/20 or heirloom

Glad to have that feedback, too. It did feel nice and soft but I sure wouldn't want to go through that experience.

Can you iron 80/20? Carefully? I don't mean by itself, but when it's in a quilt already.

It's 80%cotton & 20% polyester. It's the same as the clothes that have the two in them. To answer your question, yes you can iron it.

Thanks, maybe it was a silly question but I do have the habit of overthinking things!

It's okay. No question is silly if you don't know the answer. Believe me, I would rather ask a question however silly it is before doing something I would regret later.

I would think the batting would compress and not be very lofty. The last batting I saw at Marden's was the budget polyester on rolls. I'll have to wait on a road trip though, gotta see my granddaughter first. :thumbup:
