I have heard so much of bamboo fibre clothes…but never found any around here….is there an online store where I can purchase? |

I have found them here and there. The bedsheets I found them at a home store, discounted! You just have to shop around and keep an eye out. |

I found my bamboo kitchen towels at the super market! I was really surprised they were offering these. I waited until they were on sale and paid $2.50 for each one. |

I’ve never had anything bamboo. In fact, I didn’t know there were clothes made from it. You learn something every day. |

me too orrymain…it was just recently that I discovered them…but I have olny heard about bamboo fabrics…never used them…would want to know the texture of these fabrics…are they rough? |

They are surprisingly soft. I thought they would be rough also, but they are not. Bamboo is great as it grows quickly and is resistant to pests, so no use of pesticides are required. |

When I think of bamboo, I think of bamboo sprouts. We used to have a huge bamboo … uh, tree? grouping of bamboo? I remember we had to burn the ground to get it rid of it. |

Bamboo is quick growing. This is why there seems to be more products made out of bamboo in recent years. |

I just ordered a holder for my netbook that is made of bamboo. It’s actually a chill mat type of thing, but it’s ‘green’ because it’s bamboo, so they said. |

That sounds cool Orry Main. Let us know how you like it. |
|
Orry Main August 11, 2010 at 11:19 pm |
I sure will. It’ll probably be a few weeks before it arrives, but I like that it satisfied a need and was environmentally friendly at the same time. |

I love when that happens! It does seem to be getting easier to find eco friendly every day types of items. |

On another note, bamboo makes excellent flooring also. Last summer we had to redo all the floors in our house. We put in a wood laminate. I was looking at the bamboo flooring, so beautiful but not in our price budget. |

I have seen bamboo hedges a lot in our area….and they look very beautiful….bamboo is not that costly here…maybe because it is easily available but bamboo clothes are still not up for sale…. |
