Product details
Bamboo Jersey
95% Bamboo, 5% Elastane
170cm wide, 220gsm
Four-way stretch bamboo jersey, silky to the touch and smooth next to the skin. It has a good weight and a beautiful drape. Bamboo is an excellent choice for year-round clothing - because of its microporous structure and natural breathability it keeps you cool and comfortable in hot weather, yet warm and cosy in the cold.
This jersey has an approximate 93% stretch with 96% recovery and four-way stretch.
About this Fibre
Our Bamboo silk is made of 100% bamboo fibres, and so is not technically silk; however the satin weave gives this fabric a lustrous and silky look whilst being a much more versatile and hardy fabric; our bamboo silk can be machine washed and irons beautifully.
Care Instructions
We recommend that you wash this fabric on a gentle or delicate cycle such as 30˚ with mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying. Iron on a cool silk setting.
Prewashing before cutting is recommended in case of minor shrinkage.
Eco Credentials
The raw material is 100% organically grown bamboo (OCIA certification for international standards, NOP for USA standards) from sustainably managed bamboo forests (FSC certification). The fibres are sourced in China and all stages of the manufacturing process are carried out by a leading Chinese producer of eco-friendly textiles. Read about the manufacturer here.
OEKO-TEST 100 CLASS I STANDARD
The use of harmful metals and chemicals in the manufacturing process is strictly controlled and uses a closed-loop system. The fabric conforms to Oeko-Tex Class 1 Standards and is safe for all uses.
BIODEGRADABLE
Bamboo fibres are bio-degradable. As a natural cellulose fibre, it can be completely biodegraded in soil by microorganism and sunshine. The decomposition process doesn't cause any pollution to the environment.
