Synthetic fabrics, yarn and other fibres are grown with pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and manufactured with chemicals and dyes. These are absorbed into our blood stream when our skin comes into contact with the fabrics and when they become waste they release these harmful toxins into the environment.
Organic and eco-friendly fabrics and yarn are grown without any pesticides or chemical fertilizers and naturally biodegrade over time. Many people prefer these organic fabrics because they are softer and do not cause skin irritation.
Use eco friendly, natural and organic fabrics to furnish your home, cover your furniture, knit, and make clothing and other accessories. The Australian Organic Directory lists a range of companies providing organic fabrics such as merino wool, natural fibre yarns, twines, ropes, organic cotton, banana silk, hemp, bamboo blend luxury fabrics and others.
