I knew this was true with bamboo flooring, that it often contains very toxic fillers, but I didn't realize this about bamboo fabric. It makes sense though. Thank you joyfulone.

Some is highly chemically processed - the bamboo fibres are used in the same way as wood pulp to manufacture a fabic that is similar to Rayon. Check with the manufacturer to see whether they use spun bamboo fibres (similar to cotton) or processed cellulose. Just a slight warning – not all bamboo fabric is eco-friendly.

I've knitted a couple of small sweaters from it. I first discovered the concept of using bamboo fibers in textiles after carting home a wonderfully soft hand towel for the bathroom, looking at the tag for washing instructions and being dumbfounded when I saw bamboo listed as the main fiber. I was hooked after that. It's so soft, and luxurious; I thought it was a synthetic fabric! Bamboo is nice. I’ve knitted a couple of small sweaters from it.
