The regenerated bamboo fiber threads can then be spun into bamboo yarn for weaving into fabric. The hardening bath is usually a solution of water and methanol, ethanol or a similar alcohol. Hydrogen peroxide is added as a stabilizer and the solution is forced through spinnerets into a hardening bath which causes thin streams of viscose bamboo solution to harden into bamboo cellulose fiber threads. The process uses chemical solvents to dissolve the bamboo cellulose into a viscose solution. The method for producing bamboo viscose yarn requires a series of steps similar to those used for other rayon yarns. There is very little natural bamboo on the market and the yarn is hard to find, becuse the production process is more labor intensive and costly. The fibers are then drawn out and spun into a yarn that is silky and smooth to the touch.

Pith paper has been used in China for several centuries as a base for water color paintings. In fact the pith paper has nothing to do with paper as we know it in our modern use. Pith paper is made from the spongy pith of the branches of a small tree Tetrapanax papyriferum which grows in Taiwan. The wraps might fall a little short after wash, but will regain their usual length after some use.
