Bamboo fabrics are rayon and I don't think that process would have been possible before modern technology so it's a bit different.

- omnicognate 5y agoYeah, modern bamboo fabric is rayon. Bamboo fabric has been around for thousands of years, apparently, but stiff stuff, not suitable for clothing.
- bdcravens 5y agoIt's less common, but there's also a lyocell process for bamboo. (I have sheets and towels that are bamboo lyocell, and they feel amazing) It's also likely only possible using modern technology, but it is far more environmentally friendly than bamboo rayon (aka viscose).
