I often get asked where to find<\/strong> organic fabrics online<\/strong>…<\/h2>\n

\"frog\"<\/p>\n

\n

So I have done some research and discovered there seems to be, a LOT of interest as well as<\/strong><\/p>\n

a LOT of CONFUSION!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

…don’t worry, at first
\nit had me bamboozled too! <\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n



\n<\/p>\n

For those who are not familiar with organic fabrics, here’s a quick explanation! Skip this if it’s a bit BORING! : )<\/strong><\/h2>\n



\n\"baby\"
\nORGANIC FABRICS<\/strong> are made from things that grow – like cotton, flax, hemp, wool, suede and silk, whereas SYNTHETIC FABRICS<\/strong> are fabrics that are man-made, for example, manufactured textiles like polyester, lycra, spandex and nylon.
\nECO-FRIENDLY FABRICS<\/strong> are fabrics that is beneficial to the environment. (These fabrics can be HARMLESS,\u00a0 or simply LESS harmful to the environment BUT may come from organic OR natural fibers!)<\/p>\n
