What exactly is bamboo jersey

Bamboo jersey is a knit fabric made from bamboo fiber combined with a small amount of elastane for four-way stretch. The regenerated bamboo fiber gives the fabric its characteristic soft, cool hand feel and natural sheen, while the single jersey knit structure creates a fluid drape without the fabric becoming see-through. This combination makes the fabric breathable and pleasant against the skin, even during extended wear. For this quality, we use bamboo yarn that is ring-spun rather than open-end spun. Ring-spun yarn has longer, more evenly combed fibers, resulting in a smoother thread, less pilling, and a stronger, more durable fabric that also feels finer against the skin compared to an equivalent open-end spun fabric.
