This is Maurice Brassard 2-ply bamboo. It is rayon bamboo, a biodegradable material made from bamboo pulp cellulose. Items made with this fiber generally drape well, resist wrinkles and are strong/durable. Also, the fabric is very breathable and wicks moisture, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin. The yarn has a natural sheen that becomes more pronounced with hard pressing the finished piece. For weavers, it can be used for both warp and weft.
