What Is Bamboo Knit Fabric?
Bamboo knit fabric is made from fibre derived from bamboo. In knits this is almost always a regenerated cellulose fibre made from bamboo pulp, which feels very soft and cool and drapes like viscose or modal. Unlike most of our blend pages, bamboo is usually the main fibre: a typical quality is over 90% bamboo with a little spandex. Our library holds 39 bamboo qualities, mostly 180–245 GSM single jersey. Many markets require bamboo-derived regenerated fibre to be labelled by its fibre type, for example as viscose made from bamboo, so confirm the fibre and label wording with us before printing care labels. Like other regenerated cellulose knits, bamboo can shrink and lose shape if washed hot, so test on a sample.

Bamboo Knit Fabrics by Composition

| Bamboo/spandex | 150–245 GSM, such as KF1991 (95% bamboo / 5% spandex) at 180 GSM | T-shirts, pyjamas, babywear and underwear |
| Bamboo/cotton and cotton/bamboo | 130–200 GSM, such as P1204 (70% bamboo / 30% cotton) at 150 GSM | T-shirts and babywear |
| Bamboo/modal and bamboo/polyester | 200–230 GSM, such as C18037# (47% bamboo / 47% modal / 6% spandex) at 200 GSM | Dresses, loungewear and camisoles |

| Hand feel | Very soft, cool and fluid | Very soft and silky | Soft, dry and familiar |

| Typical weights in our library | 180–245 GSM | 180–300 GSM | 200–320 GSM |
| Typical garments | Tees, pyjamas, babywear and underwear | Underwear and loungewear | Tees, sweatshirts and dresses |

Bamboo Knit Fabric Recommendations
Xiwen Zhang, our co-founder and CEO, recommends these bamboo blends and weights for the soft, close-to-skin pieces our customers develop most often, drawing on our knit fabric experience since 2009.
SOFT AND COOL EVERY DAY
Bamboo T-Shirts
- Weight
- 170–205 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex or bamboo/cotton
- Hand feel
- Very soft, cool and fluid
Read moreRead less — Bamboo T-Shirts
Choose 170–205 GSM bamboo/spandex or bamboo/cotton for everyday T-shirts. T-shirts are the most common use for bamboo in our library, and a cotton blend gives the tee a little more body and a drier hand.
COOL FOR SLEEP
Pyjamas & Loungewear
- Weight
- 190–240 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex or bamboo/modal/spandex
- Hand feel
- Silky, soft and breathable
Read moreRead less — Pyjamas & Loungewear
190–240 GSM bamboo/spandex works well for pyjama sets and loungewear. The cool, soft hand makes it a common choice for sleepwear, and spandex helps cuffs and waistbands recover.
SOFT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Babywear
- Weight
- 165–210 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex or bamboo/cotton
- Hand feel
- Very soft and smooth
Read moreRead less — Babywear
For baby rompers and sleepsuits, start with 165–210 GSM bamboo/spandex or bamboo/cotton. Check the finished fabric against the children's product rules of your market before bulk.
SMOOTH NEXT TO THE SKIN
Underwear
- Weight
- 185–245 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex
- Hand feel
- Soft, smooth and stretchy
Read moreRead less — Underwear
Choose 185–245 GSM bamboo/spandex for briefs, boxers and bralettes. The soft, cool surface is comfortable next to the skin, and the spandex keeps leg openings and waistbands in place.
A LIGHT, SOFT LAYER
Camisoles & Base Layers
- Weight
- 180–240 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex or bamboo/polyester
- Hand feel
- Light, cool and fluid
Read moreRead less — Camisoles & Base Layers
180–240 GSM bamboo suits camisoles, tanks and fitted base layers. It drapes close to the body without feeling heavy, which suits layering under shirts and knitwear.
SOFT STRETCH FOR EVERYDAY
Bamboo Leggings
- Weight
- 190–275 GSM
- Composition
- Bamboo/spandex
- Hand feel
- Soft, smooth and stretchy
Read moreRead less — Bamboo Leggings
For everyday and lounge leggings, start with 190–275 GSM bamboo/spandex. Choose the heavier end for opacity, and check stretch and recovery on a sample against your size chart.

Bamboo Knit Fabric FAQs
Does a bamboo label mean the fabric is antibacterial or UV protective?
No. Bamboo-derived regenerated fibre does not carry these properties by default, and our bamboo knits are not tested or sold with antibacterial or UV claims.
How should bamboo knit fabric be labelled?
By its fibre type. Most bamboo fibre in knits is regenerated cellulose, which many markets require to be labelled as viscose made from bamboo or similar wording. Confirm the fibre type for your quality with us before printing care labels.
Which bamboo weight should I choose for pyjamas?
Choose 190–240 GSM bamboo/spandex jersey. It is soft and cool enough for sleep while staying opaque, and the spandex helps the set keep its shape.
Which tests matter for bamboo babywear and underwear?
For babywear at 165–210 GSM, pH is the first line, and many markets add a formaldehyde limit; agree both before bulk. Bamboo/spandex underwear and pyjamas also need perspiration fastness in both solutions and shrinkage after washing, because bamboo-derived regenerated fibre relaxes more than cotton.
What is the minimum order quantity for bamboo knit fabric?
Stock fabric orders start at 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour. Custom-colour orders start at 200 kg per colour.
