Fibre Facts
bamboo, how did a tree become a fibre?
The woody plant commonly known for its use in furniture and panda’s habitat dates back to the 1860’s as a textile. The earliest recordable patents show that Philipp Lichtenstadt discovered its ablity to be broken down to create a cellulose fibre in 1864.
Like merino it shares many of the same benefits. It is 100% biodegradable and It also shares antibacterial properties making it a great blend for the warmer months.
The plant itself can regenerate to harvest height in just under a year and needs little to no chemicals to assist in its growth, meaning it is a friend to the soil and planet.
