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 smooth knit.

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 1621 reviewsI feel compelled to continue planning my winter wardrobe. I refuse to wear those mostly polyester base layers that retailers are selling, always in black. I ordered the blue merino wool knit to replace those 2 tops I have worn 5 winters. I keep my Nature's Fabrics projects in a see-through container. I cut the name and yardage amount off the invoice, and pin it to the fabric, in case I need more at a later date.
Excellent fabric quality. I’m sure I’ll get many fun years of wear.
Beautiful fabric, awesome prices and fast shipping
Sapphire Gentians Bamboo/Spandex jersey fabric is soft with beautiful detail and color.
So soft, beautiful and really quality
Wonderful quality fabric at reasonable prices. Thank you so much.
It’s so hard to find materials that do not contain toxins and are natural, but with Nature Fabrics I finally found exactly what I was looking for!
I am especially happy that I am now able to make dog stuff that I don’t have to worry about when they Re chewed on.
Also a big shoutout to the customer service! Friendly, fast, knowledgeable!
Thank you!
I decided that this winter I would not be using unhealthy polyester fleece. I chose the bamboo fleece as an intermediate level of warmth. I will be making a jogging jacket and hope to have it sewed soon. I already have purchased the separating zipper and other notions. Gardening and canning are keeping me from gwtting to my sewing projects.
Finding a selection of quality cotton interlock knits is very difficult if you don’t know about Nature’s Fabrics. I’m so happy with my discovery! Love using it to make my comfy swing tunic tops.
I’ve been trying to find exactly this weight and stretch jersey for a while. Nice and light, low stretch but enough to be forgiving, lovely drape, perfect for all sorts of basic garments and not so stretchy as to be an enormous pain in the ass for a beginner sewer like me. Color true to photo.
Very happy with my purchase, the fabrics are very soft and I already made some baby wipes with some of the fabric. Worked very well.
The fabric ordered is perfect although the color of the one fabric is lighter in color than I thought; this was my fault for not ordering a swatch. The quality of the fabric is really nice. I loved that they included a whole lot of swatches of other fabrics that were labeled. I will be ordering again.
Everything is perfect and even sent me test sample of different fabrics, amazing shop.
This fabric is really beautiful, high quality and ready to sew! I used both my home sewing machine and a serger and the fabric held up beautifully to both machines.
I bought the jersey to create a project for a customer. I haven't met up with them to share the fabric yet. And I'm thrilled with all the samples to show them in case the first choice isn't what they want/need. Thank you for your attention.
