About the fabrics
This brief guide will help you understand the various fabrics we use to create our products.
Cashmere Wool Blend
These wool covers are primarily made from a wool and cashmere blend, making them incredibly soft. The fabric is felted and thickened, which gives the perfect foundation for a cloth nappy, and of course, many other things like apparel and baby items. You want this wool on your skin.
Our wool is carefully sourced from Tibet and Mongolia, distributed by Crose fabric, which have specialized in the trade silks and woolen fabrics.
100% woven cotton
The outer of all our nappy covers is made of 100% cotton fabric. Designed by one of my favorite designers, Joecelyn Proust.
Jocelyn often draws inspiration from her natural environment. From observing, photographing, and drawing plants and birds in her garden, she uses these natural elements to create unique designs suitable for all kinds of kids' apparel.
We're feeling very honoured to work with such incredible materials. Go check out her page - she has an impressive social media presence with a large, engaged audience of followers on Instagram. @jocelynproustdesigns
Hemp
Another great absorbent material is hemp. Our supplier combines it with cotton to make fibers more stable and flexible, as it can be quite stiff. So when we're talking about Hemp, it means 45% Cotton / 55% Hemp blend.
Bamboo
When talking about our diapers, you'll often hear stretchy Bamboo, Bamboo/Cotton blends.
It is similar to hemp fabric in that way, Bamboo is combined with 25% Cotton and 5% Spandex, leading to its desired characteristics.
- Bamboo for a very high absorbency
- Cotton to make it absorb fast enough
- Spandex to create that snug fit around the baby's bottom [keeping surprises inside ;)]
