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 flat loops 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.

Made in China.
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 893 reviewsIt’s very pretty haven’t taken it out of the bag yet
Such a soft and vibrant material. Am using for personal pads and ILP. Is the perfect combination for light Incontinance.
Didn't shrink much after washing. Came fast.
Fabric was sent promptly and is as described.
This place has beautiful cotton/spandex knits that are a wonderful quality. They are a delight to sew with and their service is super. Very quick turnaround time on my order.
The perfect fabric for lining a dress that I made
Easy to work with did not lose shape when I washed it
Love the quality & designs of the fabric.
I purchased this fabric to make some top to wear on color days. Stretch is perfect and adds to the drape of the neckline. The bamboo will make my top comfortable to wear in cold classes and warmer classes in the school along with outdoor
Beautiful fabric and fast shipping. Thanks.
Always amazing! I've been using these fabrics to make my diaper for over 8 years!
I’ve ordered several times in the last week (thank you for the patience hahaha) and have forgotten some things but was able to place a second order and they combined them. I’m obsessed!
I have ordered this white cotton interlock fabric several times now for my Etsy business and love the quality. It has a nice stretch, is not too thick or thin, and has good recovery. Nature's Fabrics always ships it to me quickly, and I love their customer service.
Love this pattern. Natures fabrics has great shipping time
The colors are amazing, the stretch is perfect, the weight is just right. If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d order 20 yards!
So soft and love the faux embroidered fabric! Can’t wait to sew it up!
