Bamboo fabric has been growing in popularity because it has many unique properties and is more sustainable than most textile fibres.

Bamboo fabric is light and strong, has excellent wicking properties, and is to some extent, antibacterial.

Bamboo fibre resembles cotton in its un-spun form, a puffball of light, airy fibres.

To make bamboo fibre, bamboo is heavily pulped until it separates into thin component threads of fibre, which can be spun and dyed for weaving into cloth.

Bamboo fabric is very soft and can be worn directly next to the skin.

Many people who experience allergic reactions to other natural fibres, such as wool, do not complain of this issue with bamboo.

The fibre is naturally smooth and round without chemical treatment, meaning that there are no sharp spurs to irritate the skin

Bamboo fabric is favoured by companies trying to use sustainable textiles, because the bamboo plant is very quick growing and does not usually require the use of pesticides and herbicides to thrive. As a result, plantations can easily be kept organic and replanted yearly to replenish stocks.

The process of making unbleached bamboo fibre is very light on chemicals that could potentially harm the environment.

In textile form, bamboo retains many of the properties it has as a plant. Bamboo is highly water absorbent, able to take up three times its weight in water.

In bamboo fabric, this translates to an excellent wicking ability that will pull moisture away from the skin so that it can evaporate.

For this reason, clothing made of bamboo fibre is often worn next to the skin.

Bamboo also has many antibacterial qualities, which bamboo fabric is apparently able to retain, even through multiple washings. This helps to reduce bacteria that thrive on clothing and cause unpleasant odours. It can also kill odour causing bacteria that live on human skin, making the wearer and his or her clothing smell more sweetly. In addition, bamboo fabric has insulating properties and will keep the wearer cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

The versatility of bamboo fabric makes it an excellent choice.
