Hemp

Today, due to increased environmental awareness is increasing interest in hemp fibers. We must not forget that hemp grows almost everywhere, from Norway all the way to the equator; also it does not need pesticides and helps in the fight against pollution.

Hemp fabric is made from the inner bark of the stem of industrial hemp. Look and feel of such clothes are very similar to flax and also have some similar features. They are durable and washable, antimicrobial, but also extremely good breathing. Because hemp fibers are somewhat cruder, more frequently used for outerwear, protective clothing, socks, jeans, etc. In latest years textile factories also manufactured thinner hemp fabric, useful for shirts, blouses, summer clothes, etc.

Hemp clothing, like bamboo, protect against UV rays.

Our western civilization spends most of his time in the clothes, so their importance to our health is certainly not negligible.

Organic Cotton

ORGANIC COTTON

Organic cotton is generally understood as cotton and is grown in subtropical countries such as Turkey, China, USA from non genetically modified plants, that is to be grown without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides.

Its production also promotes and enhances biodiversity and biological cycles.

In the United States cotton plantations must also meet the requirements enforced by the National Organic Program (NOP), from the USDA, in order to be considered organic. This institution determines the allowed practices for pest control, growing, fertilizing, and handling of organic crops.

As of 2007, 265,517 bales of organic cotton were produced in 24 countries and worldwide production was growing at a rate of more than 50% per year.

CONVENTIONAL COTTON

Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop.

Other environmental consequences of the elevated use of chemicals in the non organic cotton growing methods consist of: High levels of agrochemicals are used in the production of non-organic, conventional cotton. Cotton production uses more chemicals per unit area than any other crop and accounts in total for 10-16% of the world's pesticides (including herbicides, insecticides, and defoliants).

Chemicals used in the processing of cotton pollute the air and surface waters. Residual chemicals may irritate consumers' skin.

Decreased biodiversity and shifting equilibrium of ecosystems due to the use of pesticides.

Angora wool

Angora wool is of a unique natural fiber - particularly fine and light, yet extremely warm. Angora wool is especially comfortable to wear on the skin, especially in winter. Many small air chambers inside the angora wool act as insulating pads and store the warm air on the body. If cold air comes from outside, it is kept away from the body, the body's heat remains inside.

Linen

Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant, Linum usitatissimum. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather.

Many products are made of linen: aprons, bags, towels (swimming, bath, beach, body and wash towels), napkins, bed linens, tablecloths, runners, chair covers, and men's and women's wear.

The word linen is of West Germanic origin and cognate to the Latin name for the flax plant, linum, and the earlier Greek λινόν (linón). This word history has given rise to a number of other terms in English, most notably line, from the use of a linen (flax) thread to determine a straight line.

Textiles in a linen weave texture, even when made of cotton, hemp and other non-flax fibers, are also loosely referred to as "linen". Such fabrics generally also have their own specific names, for example fine cotton yarn in a linen-style weave is called Madapolam.

The collective term "linens" is still often used generically to describe a class of woven or knitted bed, bath, table and kitchen textiles traditionally made of linen. In the past, "linens" also referred to lightweight undergarments such as shirts, chemises, waistshirts, lingerie (a word also cognate with linen), and detachable shirt collars and cuffs, all of which were historically made almost exclusively out of linen. The inner layer of fine composite cloth garments (as for example jackets) was traditionally made of linen, hence the word lining.

Linen textiles appear to be some of the oldest in the world: their history goes back many thousands of years. Fragments of straw, seeds, fibers, yarns, and various types of fabrics dating to about 8000 BC have been found in Swiss lake. Dyed flax fibers found in a prehistoric cave in Georgia suggest the use of woven linen fabrics from wild flax may date back even earlier to 36,000 BP.

Linen was sometimes used as currency in ancient Egypt. Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen as a symbol of light and purity, and as a display of wealth. Some of these fabrics, woven from hand-spun yarns, were very fine for their day, but are coarse compared to modern linen.

Today, linen is usually an expensive textile produced in relatively small quantities. It has a long "staple" (individual fiber length) relative to cotton and other natural fibers.
