Why Bamboo Feels Like Silk and Never Pills or Shrinks

Bamboo viscose is spun from a naturally smooth cellulosic fiber. That smoothness is what your skin reads as "silky," and it's also breathable and naturally temperature regulating — cool in summer, comfortable year-round. The fiber has a gentle natural compression, so pieces stay in place instead of shifting around all day.

Three Fabric Disasters — and why quality bamboo avoids them.

• Pilling happens when short, weak fibers work loose and tangle. Bamboo's long, smooth fibers resist this.

• Shrinking happens when loosely-set fibers relax in heat. Properly finished bamboo is pre-stabilized — you can wash and tumble dry, over and over.

• Fading happens with harsh acid or disperse dyes.  BamBam uses reactive dyes which are delicate so the color stays true.
