You never see a Panda knitting – Bamboo Horror

April 2008 I decided I would try the non-animal yarns, soy and bamboo. I chose an “asymmetrical top” to knit – pattern and yarn both S***ar. The bamboo seemed soft, pleasant and drapey, but was in fact just soft and saggy. It split horridly and the ends wouldn’t stay weaved in. On gentle finishing wash it distended until it looked like it had not just been appallingly knitted, but also sewn together by someone who didn’t understand the principle!
The last laugh was after uploading it on Ravelry as an “ugh” my photo was requested and used to illustrate the pattern – why??

    I agree ,viscose is nearly as bad for splitting then drying out and tearing as a garment ages.
