Making Organic Bamboo Fabric Organic bamboo fabric is made from the pulp of bamboo. The pulp is separated into thin fibers and spun into yards or woven into cloth which is easily dyed and made into garments. Because bamboo fabric has excellent wicking properties, it is a perfect choice for fabric in garments that will be worn close to your skin like workout clothes or undergarments. Bamboo is commonly woven with cotton in order for more stability and color variations.
Benefits of Bamboo Fabric
In addition to its ability to wick moisture away from the skin, organic bamboo fabric can kill odor-causing bacteria.

Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and can be harvested every 3 to 4 years.
