FABRIC INFORMATION

LINEN
Linen is manufactured from the flax plant. The entire flax crop is used so no waste is created during harvesting. Processing uses less energy than artificial fibres processing. It has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and offers UV protection.

To fully understand how flax is grown and linen produced and why it is an environmentally sound choice, visit my blog to watch 'Be Linen - The Movie'.

HEMP
Hemp has the advantage of being naturally resistant to bacteria and mould even after several washings.  Hemp is a weed that grows without the use of pesticides and will quickly regrow once cut, making it very sustainable.  As the strongest natural fibre, it will last for many years.

ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton is remarkably soft because there are no chemicals, harsh dyes or toxic bleaches applied to the fabric. Conventional cotton uses 25% of the world's pesticides in its production and puts farm workers and others at risk.  Organic certification is available on request.
