A blend of 70% bamboo 30% Organic cotton makes a lovely yarn for next-to-skin woven fabrics.

This yarn weaves at the same sett as 8/2 cotton. The bamboo provides shine plus lots of extra softness and drape. I made a wonderful wrap using a mix of 4 colours (see pic).

What do yarn weight numbers mean?

In simple terms, the lower the first number, the thicker one ply of yarn is. The second number denotes how many plies the yarn has. So a 10/2 yarn and a 3/2 yarn both have 2 plies, but the 3/2 yarn is much thicker than the 10/2 yarn.
