Bamboo yarn must be 100% bamboo. To test the yarn just burn a little. It must burn to ashes, like paper does.

the link I posted is the only thing I've found so far that's not colored at all and is 100% cotton 100% organic

everything in the craft stores around here is dyed with 'organic dyes' at best

[EvilGrym]

I don't understand your fear about dye process. Bleached White works fine.

inhaling dye?

Any colored yarn is bleached first, then dyed. Bleaching removes organic components that give a natural color. So i suspect using nonbleached yarn is a little bit similar to using dyed.
