Question I thought Yorkies don't shed??

Lately I have noticed Itsy shedding on my clothes and her blanket where she sleeps. It's not a lot of hair (not like my cats shed), just sort of a light layer of wavy fuzz. Itsy is a Yorkie Poodle mix but I thought both those breeds are supposed to be non-shedding (which is specifically why I chose her)?? Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong when I groom her?
I bathe her once about every 7-10 days and use a tearless puppy shampoo and just in her last bath used Pantene conditioner as well (I had noticed the shedding before that though so I know the conditioner didnt cause it). I use a plastic human's comb on her hair since it seems to work best and she hated the slicker brush. She is 15 wks.
