Bamboo questions

You either want bamboo fleece, hemp fleece or microfibre.
Maiden Mills is the brand name of a particular fleece.

Alright Josephine you need to spill! Which spotlight did you buy the bamboo from? I only get looked at with blank stares when I ask for it!

Ok, i have the receipt right in front of me - its from the Hoppers Crossing store in VIC and its called Sew Easy Bamboo Batting 135GSM 1mtr @ $19.95

I just bought some more this morning so they definitely have it!

Good luck, they may not have them at all stores but you can order it from another store im sure?

Let me know how you go!

ahhh its the bamboo batting...not fleece etc. I just bought some to make a summer weight doona......not sure how it would hold up in nappies to be perfectly honest. batting is just scraps or more corectly pulp of a fibre pressed together like how they make paper....I would have my doubts as tohow it would wear with constant weeing and washing as opposed to a woven or knitted fibre.

Just my thoughts....it did however make an awesome summer wieight quilt...I just popped two layers into an old doona cover and then did some fancystitching on top to hold it down...voila!!!

If anyone wants to suss it out further it is in the quilting section with all the quilt battings.
