Ever since making an enormous bamboo blanket for my mom, I'm obsessed. So soft, yarn definition and that drape!Give me your best/worst bamboo yarns in your experience, especially on how easy/hard it is to work with and care for. And yes, rant away if you hate it, in this case, valid.

Pictured, ive tried truboo by lion brand (#1), premier bamboo fair (#2) which is a 60/40 bamboo-cotton blend, and universal yarn's bamboo pop, which is 50/50 bamboo-cotton blend.

Truboo had the most splitting, bamboo fair has done wonderfully, bamboo pop split sometimes.

I was trying to make an anatomical heart icon as a lacey granny square for a piece, but I don't know if you'd know what it is just looking at it. Several friends got it first guess, my mom I had to explain it. I was confident id cracked it, at least kinda, and now I'm more than unsure. What do you think and how could I improve it to make it more recognizable if needed?

Also, it Does look more size-appropriate in worsted, but as this is for a wearable, I'm sticking to DK bamboo cotton, I can forgive myself the small size. And yes, I haven't blocked it yet, I know.
