Which Bamboo?

[Antheia]

I have seen all different types of bamboo fabric. Bamboo fleece, bamboo velour, bamboo jersey, bamboo single sided terry, etc.

Which one is the one i see many boosters made of? and which one would i use to make the outter of a fitted nappy?

[Nelle]

Most boosters are made from bamboo fleece I reckon, and then also there's some bamboo terry out there too.

Do you have any BBH's? They are made from bamboo fleece. It's like windcheater material knit on one side with fleecy other side.

Terry is great but is quite bulky like a towel. I had some VB's for C at at stage made from it.

Jersey is knit like t-shirt material. I think this is what wild child are made from and I'm not a fan.

Single sided terry is knit on one side and loopy on the other like a finer type of towel. I used it to make prefolds with as it's snappy-able.

So is the knit side of the fabric facing inwards or out?

[alioops]

For fleece you do the knit side out for the single sided terry do the loopy side out (loopy grabs better)

Thanks girls.

So could i use bamboo velour for the outer of an AIO if i put in a hidden layer of PUL?

[~Raven~]

I wouldn't think so. You might get wicking problems. Cotton outer with AIO's have been wicking for me and I imagine bamboo velour being so absorbant would be worse.

I've got fleece nappies with either the fleecy side or the knit side out so do whatever you prefer.
