What do you mean by 'Natural Fibers'?Updated 8 months ago

Natural fibers refer to fibers that are derived from plants or animals. These fibers are considered "natural" because they are not chemically synthesized. They offer various advantages, including durability and a lower impact on the planet compared to synthetic fibers.

Our natural fibers include cotton, ramie, hemp, bast, linen, and man-made. Cotton is one of the most commonly used natural fibers and is known for its softness and breathability. Ramie and hemp fibers are also durable and have been used for centuries in making textiles. Bast fibers, such as jute and flax, are sourced from the inner bark of plants and are known for their strength and versatility. Linen, made from flax fibers, is highly valued for its natural luster and moisture-wicking properties.

Where we do use man-made celluloses (viscose, Tencel, rayon, modal), we use Lenzing certified. If we choose to use it, it is often because we are needing a softness to the fabric. We add it into the fiber blend at the start, saving the fabric or garment from needing to be washed down the track to achieve softness.
