Alternatives for organic cotton.

Bamboo top from www.bambooclothing.co.ukI thought I’d get a bit educational for this post. I have done a little research on other
organic fabric’s. Here is what I found out.

Bamboo fabric…….

I’d know that bamboo was on the rise as a fabric for clothing, at the shop we have a few
items made from bamboo.

There are some very interestingly good point for bamboo.
* The fabric absorbs moisture and then allows it to evaporate. This means you feel dry
and more comfortable.
* It protects you from harmful UV rays.
* It grows really quick and can grow most place, this is good because it an easier crop to grow and harvest.
* It doesn’t require as much water as cotton does in order to grow.
* The fabric keeps you cool in the heat but also keeps the heat in when it cold.
* Doesn’t need any help from chemical to grow. It’s all natural.

Hemp fabric…….

In the shop we have a few men’s t-shirts made from hemp.

Hemp top from www.braintreehemp.co.uk* It wear’s in rather then out, it gets softer the more you wear  it.
* No chemicals required to make hemp grow.
* The original Levi jeans were made with hemp fabric
* Reality rather then myth!! The THC  levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could
get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another
cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Hemp, it turns out, is not only
not marijuana; it could be called “antimarijuana.”

Soy bean……

Soy bean fibre is similar to bamboo in many way - 
* Just like wool, it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
* soy offers excellent protection against UV radiation, rating even better than cotton and viscose.
* ‘green’ fibre because it comes from a renewable resource.The fabric is bio-degradable.
* It contains 16 active amino acids, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.
