Today, there is a renewed interest in the natural fibers that clothed our ancestors, and still bring great value to modern-day life and comfort. But, many of us who appreciate these classic natural fibers may not have grown up learning how to use and care for them in our everyday lives. We haven't witnessed the "Goat to Coat" process of raising a fiber animal, shearing it, spinning and weaving the cloth, and then knitting, sewing, or weaving the article of clothing. It's an amazing process that brings great rewards.
Whatever the season, Spring/Summer or Autumn/Winter, everyone's wearing natural fiber clothing.
Loved by designers around the world for its natural softness, versatility, breathability and stretch, inspired new blends keep many natural fiber designed clothes on the catwalks and in the stores all year round. Warm wool or cashmere in the winter, cool cotton in summer, it feels and looks great however and whenever it's worn.
This web site is dedicated to providing that information, and further enriching our experiences with natural fibers by providing information on natural fiber clothing and its care.
