Natural Yarns For Health and Environment

It's becoming fashionable to be environmentalist but whatever helps in preserving the planet earth is good. One outcome of all of this hype about being eco friendly is that increasing numbers of people are turning to natural and organic clothing. However, a very important factor that most people do not realise is that whenever you give up using synthetics and turn to friendly to the environment, renewable resources for clothing, more than anyone else, they're helping themselves. Clothes made from organically grown natural fibres are skin friendly and keep you comfortable the whole day. If you feel that cotton and wool are the only natural yarns, it's time for a reality check. Various kinds of plants and weeds are made into yarns and clothes produced from such yarns have their own feel and quality.

One of the most popular yarns that have caught the fancy of the fashionista recently is actually bamboo yarn. Depending on climatic conditions and fertility of the soil, this plant can grow three to four 4 feet each day. Yarn made from bamboo is quite soft and silky which may be mixed with cotton along with used alone to create cloth. Available in 16 shades, bamboo yarn is being hailed as the yarn of the future.

Though much less popular as bamboo, corn yarn is the novelty that everyone in the market is eyeing. Made from corn fibre corn yarn includes a flat wide strand. It's fast overtaking all the natural fibres as clothes made from corn yarn are very easy to care. It is possible to put them in washer in addition to in dryer without damaging them.

Another hugely popular and far in demand natural yarn is soysilk yarn. Soft as silk, yet capable of keeping you warm, soysilk is spun from soy protein. Dress up in soysilk for complete chic look without compromising on your green principles.

Hemp fibre and yarn has been useful for more than 10,000 years by Chinese and Taiwanese for making shoes, ropes, clothes and early type of paper. website is very strong but not very soft to touch so it is blended with other fibres to create cloth that's both durable and supple.

Lastly, I would like to say seasilk yarn that is created from mixing seaweed fibre and silk fibre in the ratio of 30:70 which gives it both strength and softness. Hand dyed in rich, vivacious colours seasilk yarn is fantastic for bold knits.

Wearing clothes made from organic and natural yarns is important not only to make a fashion statement but to save the environment and its own delicate ecological balance. Such clothes cause you to appear beautiful and keep you comfortable concurrently reducing your carbon footprints.
