Bamboo 2/8 – Soft and Lustrous Weaving Yarn - Maurice Brassard
Maurice Brassard’s Bamboo 2/8 yarn is a thicker alternative to the classic 2/16 bamboo, while preserving the same silky softness and radiant sheen. Made from 100% bamboo viscose, it drapes beautifully and is gentle to the touch—ideal for creating fabrics with both structure and flow.
Perfect for scarves, shawls, garments or home textiles, this yarn adds richness and depth to your weaving. It works well as both warp and weft, and blends beautifully with other natural fibers like cotton, linen, or silk.
