Opinions anyone? Are they soft? Are they durable? Do they only come in blah institutional colors (drab green, greyish blue, greenish yellow?)

Has anyone seen bamboo fabric yet in clothing?

Pros and cons?

This stuff IMHO is great. It is soft and comfy. I haven't had any products long enough to know how well they hold up but for me this fiber is a winner for sheets and t-shirts.

I have noticed that sheets and blankets made with a cotton/bamboo blend are appearing everywhere all of a sudden.

I know nothing about them, but would love to hear.

I wondered if they would be soft too laugh.gif

I have a pair of mauve colored pillowcases made from bamboo. They are very soft. I think I've had them for over a year now. Wendy

I have some made from Birch that are the softest most wonderful sheets I've ever had!

What is the direction for laundering them? regular hot wash and cotton setting for dryer? Or do they have to be air dryed or partially dryed? I would imagine they are delicate setting (?)
