Flax  fibers (linen) have a somewhat bamboo looking 
shape.  You get the  bamboo like segments and when viewed in cross section 
there is actually a  dark looking (hollow?) centre like bamboo has.


Other bast fibers (ramie, hemp), also look like bamboo, but they are much  
less commonly found in yard goods.
