About Our Natural and Organic Fabrics
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is cotton that is grown and processed without Earth (or human) harming
chemicals. Every T-shirt of organic cotton saves 3 Tbs of Pesticides from our rivers, oceans and
air.
Also the organic cottons are not allowed to maintain organic certification unless they are
processed and finished without chemicals. That means you may have to iron, but you won't have
to breath fermyldahyde.
Eco Fleece
Eco Fleece is a soft and durable fleece made from recycled pop bottles. It is denser than regular fleece, making
it perfect for winter wear. It is also a double velour meaning that it is fuzzy on both sides.
Hemp
Hemp is an incredible fiber made from the stalks of the Hemp plant (no you cannot get high from smoking it,
because it is very low in the chemical that causes you to get high and very high in a chemical that
counter acts the high). Hemp is very, very strong and with washing or wearing I suggest you consider it as a
linen, (also iron on linen setting) and realize that it gets softer with age and abuse.
Hemp grows very easily, often with no chemicals at all, however sometimes chemicals are added in the
processing.
Hemp has natural anti-microbial properties.
Organic/Natural Wool/Alpaca
Wool and other animal fibers are just plain wonderful. Mother nature designed them to cover our animal kin
and keep them healthy, happy and dry.
Organic wool is from sheep that was grown on organic pastures, and did not have chemicals applied to them.
The wool was then them processed without chemicals so you end up with a fiber clean and fresh as nature
intended.
Natural wools can vary according to the production, but are un-dyed and have fewer chemicals then
conventional wool products.
The properties of wool are numerous. Wool has the ability to absorb water and still maintain its
insulating powers (actually it increases), and wool can hold up to 300% of its weight in water without feeling
wet.
Wool is also good at maintaining a constant body temperature no matter what is going on outside. In summer it
keeps you cool and in winter it keeps you warm.
Wool also has natural anti-microbial and anti-dirt properties. However, wool is sensitive to washing, often
requiring hand washing and laying flat to dry.
Color Grown Cottons
Color grown cottons are organic cottons that are grown in a color. The cotton plants literary bloom is a variety
of brown and greens. These browns and green color growns are then used in the fabric. Unlike dyed fabrics
color grown colors will get darker with washing. These are a wonderful way to add color and variety to a
wardrobe that has to be 100% natural.
Eco Spun is a fiber made from recycled pop bottles.
Bamboo comes from the long fibers of the bamboo plant. Bamboo grows very
fast, and chemically free. It is said to be a very soft fiber.
