My breed and fiber study page for Carbonized bamboo with a picture of the fiber, a sample of each of the other two yarns spun, and a swatch knit from each of the yarns spun.

I finished the swatches for the carbonized bamboo, which is bamboo infused with carbonized bamboo particles. It's more like cotton than other bamboo fibers I have spun.

Last night I spun singles of the second half of the carbonized bamboo at 55 wpi, and chain plied it. Yarn is fingering weight, 14 wpi, 3 ply, 24 yards to a half ounce.
