Valley Yarns 5/2 Bamboo is a fantastic part of our weaving line! This 5/2 yarn has a palette of deep, rich colors with the unique shine and drape of rayon from bamboo. You can feel good about the sustainability of bamboo, and enjoy the look and feel of projects woven in this elegant fiber. Although this yarn has the same yards per pound as 5/2 Cotton, 5/2 Bamboo behaves a little differently due to the nature of the fiber itself. Valley Yarns 5/2 Bamboo is spun and dyed in the United States.
Note: This yarn is sold in whole cones. Wind-offs are not available for this yarn. On average, cones weigh ~1lb but vary and can range between 0.8lbs to 1.3lbs.
Sett notes: Tabby, or plain weave, should be 16-18 epi in most cases while 18-20 epi is right for twill.
Care notes: On the first washing of dark colors or bright colors use a color catcher or dye magnet in the water.
5/2 Bamboo is also available in Natural.
Color Cards and Color Books for this yarn are available.
Note: Some cones of Charcoal and Grey Blue are incorrectly stickered as each other.

I love this yarn however every time that I log in for another purchase I see that fewer colors are available in bamboo and in tencel. WEBs keeps sending out emails to advertise their yarns which are on back order. This has gone on for 6-8 months now. Why advertise if they are not available? I’ve been a steadfast customer for 25 years…back in the Elkins days. What a shame that WEBs has lost credibility. I now purchase elsewhere until this changes.
The yarn is just what I need. The customer service is excellent. I am disappointed that so many of the colors are unavailable.
Tight, strong, slight sheen. Great stitch definition for my lace shawl.
I do not use this for weaving, but for crochet. It is a delight to work with and has a beautiful drape. The only mild complaint is that the 2-ply thread splits easily.
I have been shipping at Webs for several years. The staff is wonderful always very helpful. Most of my shopping is online and they are very quick to ship my order,
The 5/2 bamboo scarf turned out beautifully. The bamboo worked well for warp and weft.
Works very good as a warp yarn. After washing it's nice and soft
I’m working on some plain weave scarves to sell. The colors of this yarn is eye catching, and is working up as a sweet scarf.
High shine and good strength Great for warp or weft
Nice, and does not shred when weaving. You can use it for the warp.
