Bamboo Terry Towelling fabric is a very popular fabric - it is durable, sustainable, quick drying and very absorbent.
It has a soft silky texture similar to cashmere and is breathable and extremely comfortable against the skin.
Bamboo fabric is more absorbent than cotton, absorbing 60% more moisture and drying 20% faster, making it an obvious choice for nappies and absorbent pads.
Made from environmentally friendly woven Bamboo, it is highly biodegradable and eco-friendly, having hardly any impact on the environment. Contrary to cotton, Bamboo can be cultivated naturally without the need for pesticides. Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants, growing up to one metre in a single day. Bamboo is also a grass, meaning it will continue to grow once it has been cut, just like a lawn.
Below are some craft ideas for Bamboo Terry Towelling:
Hair Wrap Towel
These are much aesier to make than you would think!
We used a microfibre terry towelling, but you can use a regular bamboo terry towelling too.
Flannel
There are two ways of doing this: simply using bamboo terry on both sides, or (what we love to do) use terry one side and a plush the other! Super soft.
Reusable Kitchen Roll
We LOVE reusable kitchen roll - great for cleaning, as napkins, for the espresso machine wand.
Reusable Kitchen Sponge
Another great way to use scrap fabric for a eco-friendly, reusable kitchen product.
Reusable Swiffer Mop Cover
We uses ours all the time!
