#And I have my doubts over how much of that is actual naturally retted bamboo

[msbarrows]

Starting to remember one of the main reasons I largely stopped crocheting 20+ years ago... the pain of seeing so much pretty yarn that my wool allergy objects to. I'm not a big fan of synthetics but finding non-wool natural fibres in similarly pretty colourways and anything like actual wool textures is a major PITA. I'm sure I could buy at least some of the pretty hand-dyed yarn I keep seeing on Etsy and work it up into scarves and shawls and whatnot, but then I'd probably need to give them away since a lot of it I wouldn't be able to wear myself.

Finished that infinity scarf I've been working on; it came out okay but even at just 20% real wool fibres I could tell my allergies were noticing it whenever I worked on it, so that's probably going to be given away to someone else.

Currently have some skeins in my Etsy basket that I'm eyeing anyways - some silk-linen fingering that I want to try a skein of to judge whether I like it in person to make stuff for myself to wear, and a couple skeins of a lovely 100% SW merino fingering colourway that I might attempt making a shawl for my SIL out of. Though between the premium price for custom dyed yarn and then shipping those three skeins alone would be over $100, yikes. (Yeah that's another reason I haven't really crocheted in ages - the cost of yarn.)
