Bamboo Yarns
100% bamboo fibers are now being produced driven by the need to use less petroleum. It is an environmentally friendly raw material and is easy to produce because most of it is grown in China, The starchy pulp is refined much like Tencel which takes less time and and less energy. Bamboo has breath ability, avoids absorbing odors, good ventilation, UV protection, is non allergenic, and moisture evaporates easily. The fiber accepts color well, is strong and has a silky luster.
