Bamboo Jersey Fabric Ecru

This bamboo jersey in Ecru has that warm, creamy off-white tone you'll spot right away in the photos, thanks to the soft sheen that glides across the fabric. The fluid drape and fine, smooth texture make it immediately clear why bamboo jersey is such a favourite with sewists looking for comfort without sacrificing how it looks. In the folds you can see how the fabric catches light thanks to its silky finish, yet it stays matte and calm in colour overall. A fabric that feels right both against your skin and hanging in your wardrobe.

What is bamboo jersey fabric

Bamboo jersey is a single jersey knit made from regenerated bamboo fibre blended with a small amount of elastane for stretch in all directions. The result is a fabric with a silky finish and subtle sheen that feels extra breathable and wicks moisture well. This Ecru version uses ring-spun bamboo yarn instead of open-end yarn. Ring-spun yarn is twisted more tightly and evenly, so the fibres align better. This gives you a stronger, smoother and less fuzzy yarn than open-end, with lower pilling risk and a softness you can feel the moment you run your fingers through the fabric.
