This is 100% bamboo from Fiber Fiend in the Stormy Weather colorway. 4 ounces, spun 2-ply, 245 yards. I hadn't spun bamboo before, but I went under the assumption that it would be similar to silk. I set my wheel accordingly and it spun up pretty easily.
Now. What shall I knit with it?
ETA: I just noticed the date on the band is wrong. I blame it on cold meds.

How about the cover bag on the Last Minute Knitted Gifts book?
That's what I'm finally using the cursed yellow bamboo for that I bought to make something for my mother. It's turning out really nice.
I'll have to line it, but it's still nice.
pretty. Love that shiny stuff! You could do the ascot from Holiday IK...
Damn, that was fast.
Okay. So what I can trade you for spinning lessons?
Show-off!
My yarn hasn't even made it out of the bags it came in.
