Fibers Used in Organic Clothing

Here are the most common fibers used for making organic clothes:

Organic Cotton Clothing:

This is the most popular and abundant organic material. Organic cotton clothes are stylish, comfortable and environmentally friendly. Organic cotton is most frequently used for making t-shirts, sweat-shirts, yoga-wear, jeans and other comfort-oriented styles.


Organic Hemp Clothing:

Hemp fabric is very much like linen in appearance. Hemp fibers are also frequently mixed with other organic fibers, such as cotton and bamboo.


Organic Wool Clothing:

Wool is derived from the fur of sheep, llamas, and alpaca. It is indispensable in winter, and in colder climates. It makes for great sweaters, socks, hats, gloves. The difference between regular wool, and organic, is of course the treatment and feeding of the animals. The ethics of organic wool are often questioned, so it is up to individual consumers to decide where they stand.


Organic Bamboo Clothing:

Organic bamboo clothes may be hard to picture, but they are actually as soft as silk, with similar drape. They are also very absorbent, thus making them extremely comfortable clothes to wear, as they take the moisture away from the skin.
