I bought some bamboo cotton thinking it was a high-quality flannel as it felt much softer than flannel but with little or no "nap". I will make a baby receiving blanket with it but I was wondering what are its properties? Does it wash well? shrink much? pill? love this stuff and i found it at walmart!

bamboo acts much like rayon, depending on how it's treated during manufacturing it can shrink quite a bit, or not at all. It can also change texture if washed in hot water, again depending on the chemicals used in manufacturing. I always test a square, measuring before and after laundering.
