Bamboo Viscose Jersey
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Bamboo Viscose Jersey Fabric
Bamboo viscose jersey is a soft, breathable, and lightweight knit fabric made from viscose derived from organically grown bamboo. With its smooth surface, natural drape, and excellent stretch recovery, it has become a go-to material for everyday apparel brands seeking both comfort and sustainability. At Nantong Tianhong Textile Technology Co., Ltd., we produce bamboo viscose jersey fabrics that meet FSC, OCS, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifications, giving your brand a credible foundation for eco-conscious marketing.
Introduction
Bamboo viscose jersey is produced by chemically processing cellulose extracted from bamboo pulp into regenerated fiber, which is then knit into a single-jersey structure. The result is a fabric that feels noticeably soft against the skin, moves naturally with the body, and wicks moisture away efficiently.
Founded in 2001, Tianhong has spent over two decades refining its bamboo viscose production chain — from raw material sourcing to finished fabric — ensuring stable quality across every batch. We partner with BAMSILK™ fiber to maintain fiber consistency and traceability. Our in-house R&D team continuously optimizes yarn count, GSM range, and knit construction to expand the versatility of our bamboo viscose jersey portfolio.
Whether you're building a basics line, activewear collection, or a premium loungewear range, bamboo viscose jersey adapts across applications. Our team can assist with custom colorways, weight adjustments, and blend configurations to match your exact requirements.

Application
Bamboo viscose jersey is one of the most versatile knit fabrics in sustainable apparel manufacturing. Its soft hand feel, natural stretch, and moisture management properties make it suitable for a wide range of end-use categories:
- T-Shirts and Tops: The lightweight variants (140–180 gsm) drape cleanly and print well, making them ideal for everyday tees, tank tops, and casual tops.
- Underwear and Intimates: Ultra-soft constructions with fine yarn counts are widely used for underwear, bralettes, and bodysuits where skin comfort is paramount.
- Loungewear and Sleepwear: Mid-weight bamboo viscose jersey (180–220 gsm) provides the right balance of coverage, softness, and breathability for pajamas and lounge sets.
- Baby and Children's Clothing: The gentle touch and OEKO-TEX certified safety profile make it a preferred choice for infant bodysuits, rompers, and kids' basics.
- Yoga and Light Activewear: With added spandex, the fabric offers the stretch and recovery needed for yoga wear, pilates sets, and low-impact activewear.
- Dresses and Casual Wear: The natural drape and fluid movement of bamboo viscose jersey lend themselves well to wrap dresses, midi skirts, and casual layering pieces.
Advantage
- Exceptional Softness: Viscose derived from bamboo produces a fiber with a naturally smooth surface, resulting in a fabric that compares favorably to modal and MicroModal in terms of hand feel — without the premium pricing.
- Moisture Management: Bamboo viscose has a naturally porous cross-section that facilitates fast moisture transfer, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in warm or active conditions.
- Temperature Regulation: The breathable structure of bamboo viscose jersey allows air circulation, making it suitable for both warm and cool climates.
- Sustainable Credentials: Produced from fast-growing bamboo sourced with FSC and OCS certification, the fabric supports your brand's sustainability claims with credible third-party verification.
- Eco-Conscious Dyeing: Tianhong's dope dyeing process — available for selected constructions — reduces water consumption by approximately 60 tons per ton of fabric and cuts CO2 emissions by around 750 kg per ton, compared to conventional methods.
- Supply Chain Transparency: Full traceability from raw material to finished fabric is documented, and the entire supply chain is third-party certified, reducing compliance risk for brands sourcing for regulated markets.
- Custom Development: Our R&D team can tailor GSM, blend ratios, yarn counts, and finishes to your specification within a 15-day sample turnaround.

FAQ
- Q: What is bamboo viscose jersey and how is it made?
- A: Bamboo viscose jersey is a knit fabric made from regenerated cellulose fiber derived from bamboo pulp. The bamboo is processed using a chemical (wet-spinning) method to extract and reform the cellulose into fiber — this is a different process from mechanical or physical extraction. The resulting fiber is then spun into yarn and knit into a single-jersey structure. The fabric is not considered a natural fiber in the traditional sense, but it retains many desirable properties of the bamboo plant's cellulose and is widely recognized as a sustainable textile choice when produced responsibly.
- Q: Is your bamboo viscose jersey OEKO-TEX certified?
- A: Yes. Our primary bamboo viscose jersey fabrics carry OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, meaning they have been tested for harmful substances and are considered safe for skin contact, including for baby and children's products. We also hold FSC and OCS certifications covering our bamboo fiber sourcing.
- Q: What GSM range is available for bamboo viscose jersey?
- A: Our standard range runs from approximately 140 gsm to 280 gsm. Lighter weights suit T-shirts and tops; mid-range weights work well for loungewear and dresses; heavier constructions are used for more structured casual garments. Custom GSM can be developed by our R&D team based on your end-use requirements.
- Q: Can I request a custom blend or composition?
- A: Yes. We regularly develop custom blends — for example, bamboo viscose combined with organic cotton, spandex, polyester, or other fibers — to meet specific performance or certification requirements. Share your target specification and we will advise on feasibility and provide a sample within 15 days.
- Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
- A: MOQ is generally 300–500 kg per color for standard constructions. For custom developments or certified fabrics, MOQ may vary. Please contact us to discuss your specific project.
