Crooked Brook is proud to
announce our new line of 100% Organic Cotton Twill in 24 colors, to
supply the growing-need for organically grown fabrics.
The International
Organic-Sustainable Certification Group – SKAL, has approved of this
fabric. This organization ensures that cotton from the seed to the
finished rolls of fabric meets these recognized guidelines;
No herbicides or pesticides
are used growing this cotton. Conventional cotton products use about
one pound of chemicals to grow three pounds of cotton.
Hydrogen peroxide is used
(instead of chlorine bleach) to whiten the fibers, and they are dyed
with low impact fiber reactive dyes, which are environmentally
friendly compared with traditional dyestuffs such as heavy metal or
sulfa dyes.
Textile mills where the
twill is woven do not use child or forced labor, and working
conditions do not subject the employees to unhealthy, unsafe
conditions or employ unreasonable mental or physical practices.
Organic cotton wears well
and is hypoallergenic. Many people suffering from skin conditions
can comfortably wear garments made from organic cotton.
