Natural fibres

Natural fibres
Natural fibres allow the skin to breathe more easily than most synthetic fibres, and have a less harmful impact on the environment.
These fibres come directly from plants or animals. They include wool, cotton, linen, hemp and silk (from the cocoons of silkmoth caterpillars that feed on mulberry leaves).
  • Natural fibres wick water and sweat away from the skin, so they are more breathable than synthetic fibres
  • Natural fibres are usually easier to dye than synthetic ones, so fewer chemicals are needed to manufacture them
  • Natural fibres will rot away. You can even put discarded clothes on the compost heap
  • Natural fibres are made from renewable resources that can be re-grown. Synthetics are made from oil, which cannot be replaced once it has been used
