Great for both warp and weft. Weaves up with a beautiful hand...washes well with minimal shrinkage. True to color. Love bamboo paired with tencel.

Comments about Valley Yarns 10/2 Bamboo:
I used this to knit a sample and there was a lot of fuzz in the finished knitted lace. I wouldn't use it for knitting again but would use it for weaving however not in the warp.

I am an avid weaver and enjoyed the two projects that I wove, a scarf in a twill pattern and a shawl in Diamond Diaper Lace.

Comments about Valley Yarns 10/2 Bamboo:
Thanks to a review that mentioned this yarn fuzzes up after washing, I twisted the fringe on the scarf. I washed it as though wool, with the wash and rinse water about the same temperature. The untwisted portions of the fringe didn't develop the halos that a rayon boucle I often use does.
The yarn has less sheen than other bamboos I've used, which means it's less slippery to work with.

Comments about Valley Yarns 10/2 Bamboo:
Gorgeous on the cone, handles like a dream, drapes beautifully, but fuzzes up and loses its sheen when it's washed. I plan to dry clean future projects or do stuff that's OK if it fuzzes.
Comments about Valley Yarns 10/2 Bamboo:
Drapes like silk. Fantastic. I've done several items out of this. As an 8-harness pinwheel, I sett it at 35 epi, and it drapes like a dream.
