Bamboo yarn is extracted from the woody fiber of the plant. The species of bamboo used for textile production is Phyllostachys heterocycla pubescens, commonly known as Moso bamboo. It grows and is mainly used in Asia, where weaving is practiced extensively. Its cultivation does not require chemical fertilizers and improves the soils on which it is grown. The plant is completely biodegradable, therefore bamboo cultivation is highly sustainable. The mechanical process of crushing the woody parts of the bamboo plant uses natural enzymes to break down the barriers so that the natural fibers can be combed and spun. The characteristics of bamboo make it a valid alternative to cotton, as it is a fiber that allows the creation of fresh garments for the summer with very high breathability. Another fundamental characteristic, which places bamboo yarn among antimicrobial and hypoallergenic yarns, is a natural antibacterial element (bamboo-kun) contained in the fiber and resistant to multiple washes.
