Natural bamboo is processes similar to linen, however has slightly different staple lengths than linen with 100mm - 130mm. Natural bamboo therefore is most suitable for worsted systems. Natural bamboo can also be spun on cotton systems, needs however to be cut for this purpose.
Furthermore, natural bamboo has, in contrary to regenerated bamboo yarns and fibers, an antibacterial effect.
