The Colorado Trading Company has created a fabric they call "Soybu" which is a blend of bamboo fiber and soy fiber. The fiber feels like cashmere — it's soft and buttery. There are two Soybu products available so far: this Soybu Blanket Throw and a Soybu Micro Chenille Robe. The blankets are priced at $65. :: Colorado Trading Company

A recent article about the "earth fertility map" produced by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison included this information:

"The Amazon basin has experienced some of the greatest changes in recent times, with huge swaths of the rainforest being felled to grow soya beans."

I am somewhat concerned about the obsession with soy based products.

Can you suggest a more efficient fiber instead? Just because some people in South Amercia choose to grow soybeans inefficiently doesn't mean the fiber is to be avoided.
