Bamboo Towel

 

70% bamboo / 30% cotton 

Un-dyed & unbleached

Bamboo has been praised as “The natural green, eco-friendly new type of textile material of the 21^st Century”.

Bamboo thrives naturally without the use of pesticides.  It is a natural cellulose fiber, which is converted into yarns without the addition of chemicals, and is 100% biodegradable in soil by microorganism and sunshine, causing no pollution to the environment.  The unique make-up of the ‘Bamboo’ fiber, whose cross section is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes gives it a moisture absorption rate three times that of Cotton.

Bamboo fiber is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-static.  Its natural antibiosis function keeps bacterium away so that it won’t produce bad odors or get moldy.

Our Bamboo towels have an ultra-soft feel, yet own a high abrasion-proof capacity, making them extremely durable and hard wearing.  They are woven using Bamboo for the pile (loops) and Cotton for the backing, giving a total fiber content of 70% Bamboo, and 30% Cotton by weight.

 Care Instructions

Our towels come to you straight from the Loom, and it is essential that they be laundered before use, as they have not been subjected to any we processes such as scouring, bleaching or dyeing after weaving.  Therefore careful handling needs to be taken with your new ‘Bamboo’ towel to prevent snagging of the loops (broken finger nails, rings, zips etc.) prior to its first laundering, when the slight amount of shrinkage that takes place binds the loops more firmly into the cloth, making them ready for service.

The towels should be laundered with cold water (delicate wash), rinsed thoroughly, and then tumble dried if desired at a low to medium heat setting.  We do not recommend the use of fabric softeners for towels, as they tend to block-up the holes in the fibers leading to reduced absorbency.
