Bamboo Roving : Bast/Viscose

Bamboo is a natural fiber that can be processed either as a naturally occurring bast fiber (bamboo linen) or a regenerated manufactured fiber (bamboo rayon/viscose or lyocell).

Bast bamboo is the long fibrous strands found between the outer bark and inner core of the stem, it has a similar feel to flax and linen and can be used in many of the same applications. It feels courser than viscose but softens with each wash and wear.

Bamboo fiber (viscose) is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber made from bamboo pulp through patented technology. It is featured with high tenacity and stability, strong durability and good spinnability. It is a natural, green and environment-friendly textile raw material, which is biodegradable and can be blended with other materials such as cotton, hemp, silk, tencel, modal, polyester and spandex, etc.

Bamboo has excellent moisture absorption and permeability, it is comfortable to wear and leaves no perspiration; it is cool in summer and warm in winter. It has anti-bacterial and is resistant to ultraviolet light. It is soft, smooth, and lustrous, with good drape and color fastness.

Bamboo-Bast

$3.00

Bamboo linen (Bast) is processed mechanically using the same processes used to produce linen from hemp or flax, with similar sustainability benefits and considerations. It is often referred to as “mechanically processed” bamboo. Unfortunately, bamboo linen makes up a minuscule amount of bamboo fabric on the market because it is more labor intensive and costly.
