Our fibers
ORGANIC COTTON
What is organic cotton?
The Organic cotton cultivation rules are very restrictive. The latter, in fact, is grown using methods and materials that have a low environmental impact, following the rules of organic farming, just like food products. The basis of a textile certification attesting to the organic origin of the fabric is the exclusion of hazardous pesticides and many harmful substances commonly used in the production chain. Furthermore, reducing the amount of water and energy used contributes to improving soil quality, preserving its biodiversity. Growing organic cotton is sustainable, ecologically and ethically, both environmentally and socially.
Certifications
Organic cotton is certified GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard, a key label in the sustainable fashion sector that we can also find on other natural fabrics.

ORGANIC WOOL
Organic wool refers to wool from certified organic farms. On these farms, sheep are fed organic feed and treated with natural products (homeopathic and phytotherapeutic). A maximum of 13 animals can be raised per hectare of land, and stables must also provide adequate space and access to outdoor areas. Organic wool therefore certifies the type of farm where it was produced.

WOOL/SILK
Why do the two fibers mix?
- The main purpose is to improve the feel and strength of Merino wool, Indeed, silk must be added in small percentages, (20-30%) so as not to distort wool; this makes it even softer and much more pleasant on the skin.
- Silk helps increase the flexibility of the fibers and consequently reduces allergy and irritation phenomenaAnd.
- Another advantage is that of make this product more wear-resistant, as well as hotter e less prone to felting.
- Also in the spinning phase, silk provides significant benefits; the thread is much more regular, the resistance is far superior and the titles are thinner and more valuable of those that can be obtained with Merino wool alone.
Attention!
Higher silk percentages to those indicated, They are not a good sign, but they are an indicator of low quality wool and therefore, paradoxically, a lower-quality product. In fact, the lower the percentage of silk, the higher the quality of the wool; remember, it's the wool that gives the fabric its soft feel, as it's the predominant fiber; the added silk serves to elevate the product to excellence.

SILK
Silk is obtained from the protein secretions of silkworms., which solidify to create the cocoon fibers. The weight-to-strength ratio of silk fiber is extremely high, so much so that some compare the strength of silk fibers to that of steel.

LYOCELL
The main raw material for lyocell is cellulose from wood pulp. (obtained from trees such as eucalyptus, oak, and birch) that is chemically broken down into a soup sludge, which is then pumped through a steam mill and reformed into more easily woven fibers. Thus, lyocell can be accurately referred to as a recovered or regenerated fiber.
