Today i am going to discuss to you the benefit of using bamboo as a textile and why is it probably the coolest fiber to work with, its for sure the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Bamboo, where do we begin:
Bamboo clothing is a modern invention that originated as a desire for a greener planet. It is considered the ‘most sustainable natural fiber on earth with many extraordinary qualities. It is the fastest growing plant on earth, making it naturally highly renewable. In fact, bamboo grows to its maximum height in approximately 3 months.
The process to make bamboo fiber is simple; essentially stalks of bamboo are crushed and pulped to separate the natural fibers. The fibers are then mixed with the lowest impacted chemicals to convert the plant fiber into textile quality fiber.
It is not only extremely soft and 'luxuriously' comfortable, it absorbs and evaporates sweat quicker (3-4 times better than your average t-shirt), it has a thermo-control system that allows your body to breathe easier in hot weather and keeps you warmer in cold weather. It is an antistatic material, it also cuts down 98% of harmful UV rays that attack your skin.
Besides these advantages, bamboo clothing has a smooth and round texture, with little chemical treatments that may irritate skin.
Finally, Bamboo clothing is antibacterial and antifungal. Therefor , it resists the spread of bacteria on the skin. This makes it perfect for sensitive or allergy prone skin.
Now thank you for having taken the time to read my little blog, and tell me have I made a believer out of you or will you have to read about my next blog where i tell you the advantages of using Soy textiles that has been deemed a "vegetable cashmere".
