I love the cozy feeling of bundling up in a warm sweater on a cool day, and I found a fabric that you may not have heard about that might help you stay warm. Recently I’ve been reading about the benefits of bamboo fabric. Many people who experience allergic reactions to other natural fibers, such as wool, do not have a reaction to bamboo.
Bamboo is being promoted as an environmentally friendly, or ‘green’ fabric. Companies producing organic bamboo fabric leave the bamboo fiber unbleached. Bamboo is a sturdy plant which requires no pesticides to grow, but does require chemicals to produce the fibers which are spun and dyed for weaving into cloth.
The superior wicking properties of bamboo make it an excellent choice for staying cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Bamboo is a naturally antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant fiber, through multiple washings.
While there continues to be much debate over the environmental benefits of bamboo, the noticable difference it makes while wearing it, compared to cotton and linen, definitely makes this fabric worth looking into as a ‘greener’ option.
I love wearing bamboo/cotton shirts when I work out. They’re so soft and almost have a silky feel. I highly recommend wearing bamboo, but when it’s not blended with cotton, it’s slightly see through.
Bamboo bedding material could fine-tune to your body temperature. They have very quickly wicking properties which let it possibly be 3-4 occasions much more absorbent when compared with 100 % cotton and so this implies you should stay chilly more comfortable during the warm months in the particular cold months bamboo bed sheets fabric can be comfy however , concurrently permitting a lot more air flow among your body, hence overheating is eliminated.
