8/2 Bamboo Yarn
∼Yarn line #125
8/2 Bamboo Yarn description:
Bamboo yarn is a beautiful plied weaving yarn. Smooth, lustrous and soft, you will love weaving with this yarn, available in either 8/2 or 16/2 weights. Bamboo, the lunch-of-choice for Panda bears, is environmentally friendly, naturally antibacterial, and has excellent breathability and drape. Suitable for use in place of pearl cotton, tencel or silk. Knitters will love the drape of bamboo for a sleek lace weight shawl or scarf or paired with a cotton yarn to add sheen and depth to a summer top. Test your gauge first - these yarns do not stretch!
Bamboo is available in either 8 oz tubes or in convenient mini cones. Most of the colors offered in both 8/2 and 16/2 Bamboo yarn are interchangeable with those offered in our 8/2 Tencel.

8/2 Tencel Yarn
∼Yarn line #172
8/2 Tencel Yarn description:
Tencel yarn is absorbent and breathable like other natural fibers and can be used similarly to silk, bamboo or mercerized cotton. Tencel 8/2 is a great weight for a range of weaving projects from yardage for garments or upholstery to knitted accessories. Dont let synthetic be a dirty word for this deluxe cellulose based fiber. Tencel yarn is soft, silky and very strong - wet or dry it's stronger than cotton. Enjoy the sheen, drape and rich colors for all your woven or lace projects.
Weavers: Tencel yarn can be used for both warp and weft or combined with a variety of other fine yarns. When looking for woven tencel project inspiration look for patterns calling for mercerized cotton or silk.
Knitters: Youll love the drape of Tencel for sleek and soft lace weight shawls or paired with a cotton to add depth and sheen to a summer top. Test your gauge first - these yarns do not stretch!
8/2 Tencel yarn is available in 8 oz tubes or convenient 400 yard mini cones. Please note that our Tencel and our 8/2 or 16/2 Bamboo are available in many of the same colors.
