Sustainability credentials:

This fabric is made from 48% Bamboo. On the whole bamboo is considered a more Eco- friendly alternative to many fibres because bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases over 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere compared to an equivalent mass of trees. Bamboo requires no chemicals, pesticides or fertiliser to grow. It’s a renewable resource. After being harvested, it continues to grow new shoots from its root system.  There are many other great properties associated with bamboo including being bio-degradable, this fabric is blended with cotton which is also bio-degradable.

Details and suitable uses:

A woven light to medium weight chambray with a lovely subtle shot effect. This fabric is crisp enough to make shirts and soft enough to make gathered blouses.
