Bamboo Jersey Fabric Rust

This bamboo jersey in rust has a warm, earthy tone that calls to mind weathered terracotta - the kind of colour you're seeing everywhere in autumn collections right now. The fabric drapes soft and fluid, with a subtle sheen thanks to the silky finish and fine twill structure you can spot running through the knit when you look closely. In the photos you can see how the fabric wraps around itself beautifully without forming wrinkles or hard lines - that's what good drape looks like. This is a fabric you'll want to touch the moment you see it.

What exactly is bamboo jersey

Bamboo jersey is a knit fabric made from fibres derived from bamboo pulp, blended with a small percentage of elastane for stretch in all directions. The result is a fabric that breathes and feels light against the skin, with a natural lustre and a soft, almost silky feel. This fabric uses ring-spun bamboo yarn instead of open-end yarn, and you can tell the difference. Ring-spun yarn has longer, tightly twisted fibres, which creates a stronger, smoother thread with less pilling and a finer, more luxurious look than open-end yarn. The upshot is a fabric that resists pilling and keeps looking good even after frequent washing. Want to know more about our bamboo certification?
