Natural bamboo leaves and inner pith from the trunk are extracted using steam and crushed to form a viscose pulp. It is baked at a high temperature to carbonize the fibre to a natural gun metal grey. The dissolved pulp is spun to a fibre that is naturally antibacterial, resistant to ultra-violet rays, and when spun produces a silky yarn with good drape. Great to blend with grey or black wool!
Sliver may contain some vegetable matter.
