Fabric will be continuous if ordering more than one cut with the exception of wholesale rolls and bolts.
This Stretch French Terry is 65% Bamboo Viscose, 30% Hemp and 5% Spandex. It is 60" wide and weighs in at 380 GSM. This Bamboo Stretch French Terry stretches approximately 50% in the width and 60% in the length. It feels sturdy and yet exquisitely soft. One side is a flat knit and the other side is a chain-like weave.
It is a great alternative to our bamboo stretch fleece. It is perfect for yoga pants, cloth diapers, child’s pants, shorts, hoodies and work-out clothing.
The weight of this fabric may vary with each manufacturing shipment. Dye lots will vary, some black dyed fabric may appear lighter than others.
Made in China.
Super happy with the weight and feel on this one. Going to be some gorgeous reversed then tie dyed flats.
Great quality fabric! Nice stretch and recovery. Soft for a hemp fabric. Ready to work with and super absorbent!! I will be buying more.
I bought this to make into nice stretchy flats for cloth diapers. My friend had some that were the same fabric content that she bought from a shop who said they got it from natures fabrics. I’m not sure if they changed the way it was produced but this is not as soft and floppy as my friend’s diapers. This is stretchy and has good absorbency but when this is wet with pee or coming out of the washer, it gets a little rough and very stiff.. feels like wet jeans. Definitely not my favorite even though I spent the most money on them. When it comes to diapers, I’d look elsewhere.
I did make a really beautiful bow out of this and it makes great boosters since it doesn’t matter that it gets stiff while wrapped inside another diaper.
I like this fabric, but I find the information listed a little misleading:
1. Color- it is not a solid black color. It is more of a black/dark charcoal heather-ish blend with some texture. The photo provided is too low resolution to show this texture and color.
2. Softness - it is fairly soft for a hemp blend fabric, but I would not call it "exquisitely soft". It's not scratchy, but it's not really soft, either.
3. Alternative to bamboo stretch fleece - it is quite different in color, texture, and softness. The bamboo stretch fleece is darker, smoother, and much softer than this fabric. The bamboo fleece feels "cozy" and fuzzy to me, but this french terry does not.
4. Perfect for yoga pants - I just made yoga-style pants with this fabric, and they go sheer bending over (not "squat proof"), so they would not be suitable to wear as yoga pants in an actual yoga class. They are still fine to wear with a longer shirt - they are not super sheer, just not opaque enough to be real yoga pants.
The fabric does have nice stretch, though, and it was pleasant to cut and sew.
Though it is heavy in weight (380 GSM), it is not super thick - I'd say it's more of a medium thickness. I thought it would be a winter weight fabric, but I'd call it more of a spring/fall weight.

Let customers speak for us
from 1160 reviewsThese are great for the infinity scarves I am making
Always great customer service and ready to answer any questions
I've made a number of orders from this store, and I am always happy with the quality of the products I receive! This is possiibly the best and most reliable place to source Bamboo and Merino solids. With listings being default ordered by color family, 1/2 yard options being available to order, and wonderfully responsive customer service, Nature's Fabrics is easily my favorite fabric store.
The Moroccan Bamboo Stretch Fleece is beautiful, a gorgeous color, warm and soft. I ordered the bamboo stretch fleece after receiving a sample of the fabric in a previous order. Get some….you’ll love it!
The big downside to Nature’s fabrics Bamboo is that my husband, my 3 sons, Son-in-law, and 3 grandsons all want new boxer briefs all the time! I made the mistake of sending them the link and niw they are requesting which fabrics too.
High quality. Beautiful saturated color and nice drape! I can’t wait to start my project
Jeanne, is and has been very helpful in my journey from the very beginning she answers all my questions to the best of her knowledge she puts up with my ongoing messages and definitely has one of the best quality fabric that I have felt and seen. I love to shop with her often not just because of the quality, but because who she is as a person! I love supporting and I’m always in for a shopping spree with her. I’ve got several different batches that has changed in color and slight texture that I didn’t know could happen but overall, I’m still a very happy customer and will continue to support her and the family as much as I can. Thank you so much for all the amazing Fabric that you supply for us Definitely top number one in my book in the USA 🤪

Tons of large cuts in this grab bag!
Most of the cuts were a full yard. Only two cuts were "damaged" and that was just dusty/dirt that washed right off. The smallest cuts were half yard cuts, and there were only two of them. Eight cuts in all, more than I expected! (5 full yards, 2 half yards, and one 3/4 yard cuts in all)
Amazing quality as always
I used this to make a pinafore dress, wrap skirt, and little cape for our Maltipoo. All are wonderful with this fabric. It does not hold any wrinkles after a full day of wearing while traveling. It’s nice and warm too. Very happy with my purchase and plan to buy more.
Gorgeous fabric - can't wait to make something with it!!
I've bought several times from Nature's Fabrics and love the quality of their jersey knits.
Celery Superfine Merino Wool Jersey Fabric
I ordered both the 400 GSM Natural Organic Cotton Sherpa fabric and the 600 GSM Natural Organic Cotton Sherpa fabric to sew on backside of my organic cotton throw for additional warmth. The 600 GSM was too heavy, but the 400 GSM was perfect making my throw extra cozy. I plan to use the 600 GSM for other projects, ie., seat cushion, stuffed animals for the grandkids, etc. Both fabrics are of high quality. They are soft, and I love the feel of the natural fabrics. Excellent quality. Fair price. Top notch customer service. I don’t sew real often, but if and when I do sew, I will come back to Nature’s Fabrics.
