why bamboo?
Bamboo fabric is considered an environmentally friendly material. Compared to its most similar textile of cotton, bamboo does not usually require pesticides or fertilisers and grows well without aid.

Bamboo fibre is a highly water absorbent fabric (hygroscopic). Bamboo fabric is cool in hot weather as it draws moisture away from the skin, and warm in cold conditions as acts as a good insulator.

Bamboo fabric has a silky, smooth feel that is truly surprising. It has a natural sheen unlike other natural vegetable based fabrics. You won't believe such a fabric comes from a plant as durable as bamboo.

LF2001 Stretch Linen White - Metre
NEW! Now in store, fabulous Linen & Rayon blend with Elastane for stretch.
Linen 29% Rayon 68% Elastane 3%
172 GSM
120-122cm Width
Stretch Linen Fabric ideal for super soft comfortable pants or shorts.
This new fabric has the combined unique linen and Rayon properties that can be thanked for why this fabric has endured as a mainstay of the textile industry for so long. These include:
- Durability and tensile strength
- Quick drying capabilities and resistance to moisture
- Slightly silky texture that softens with use
- Low elasticity
- Doesn’t hold on to heat and cold
These properties lead to some pretty distinctive benefits. For instance, because linen doesn’t hold on to temperatures in the air, it’s inherently breathable and an ideal fabric for those who live in extremely warm or cold climates. And while it’s durability means that it doesn’t flow quite so freely as other fabrics, it also means that it can stand up to long-term use and is able to lay flat and firm. Interestingly, the same features that make linen so durable also means that it cannot create lint and that it actually gets even more supple with use and cleanings.
