    NO bamboo in Australia until the end of May due to a co op flop. You'll only find brown or black.

    Double sided terry and single sided is available for $20m from spotlight and lincraft

    but honestly...for that price Id be getting me some bamboo hon

    Keep an eye out on ebay too. There was some hemp terry on there a little while ago that worked out to around $10 a metre. Not sure if you want that much (there was around 7m), but you might find what you need.

    Really? I've got some. It is rougher than bamboo, I use it in pockets so its not against the skin.
    Have no idea what the hemp terry would be like TBH.

    depends what the layer is between them to hon.....sensitivites can be intensified when there are a few layers of osmething together.


    I also think it depends on what the product is but i havent had much luck with hemp and was sick and tired of strip washing it every 2 weeks

    I ordered Bamboo from a NZ site last week (Greenbeans) and recieved it today. So if you want bamboo terry, hop on there. They do have other fabrics too and I have found them to be very good to communicate with. The exchange rate makes it cheaper than anything you can get in oz and postage is done by weight.

    I agree hon...greenbeans is fantastic!!!!!! just ordered osme bamboo fleece from there too but snaps australia generally is the cheapest for bamboo fleece - even with the exchange rate
