2. What Are Bamboo Towels?
You’ve probably heard about bamboo towels.
Maybe you’ve felt one at a store somewhere and
wondered about them.
3. What is a bamboo towel?
A bamboo towel is a type of towel made out of bamboo
fibres. Modern bamboo clothing is clothing made from either 100%
bamboo yarn or a blend of bamboo and cotton yarn. The bamboo
yarn can also be blended with other textile fibres such as hemp or
even spandex.
4. What are some benefits of bamboo towels?
• Here’s a couple:
• They’re eco-friendly – A bamboo stalk can grow 3-4 feet per
day making bamboo a very ecologically conscious choice. Not to
mention that bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the air than
other trees.
• They’re really really soft – Bamboo fabrics are known for their
softness.
• They’re absorbent – Another property of the bamboo fabric is that
they soak up a lot of water. In fact, they’re known for absorbing up
to 4 times as much water as regular cotton towels. Unfortunately
this means they’ll also take a little bit longer to dry.
• They’re NATURALLY anti-microbial, anti-fungal & anti-static –
This is not an added property of the fabric. Bamboo fabric has been
shown to kill 70% of bacteria even after 50 washes. WOW! This
means if you leave your damp bamboo towel in a gym locker for a
while it won’t get that funky damp smell.
• Yup. That’s bamboo for you. Isn’t it great?
5. I’m convinced. Where should I buy

• I don’t mean to toot my own horn here or
anything, but we here at loombrand happen
