| Raw Materials |
A raw material is something that is acted upon or used by human labour or industry. Often the term is used to denote material that came from nature in an unprocessed, minimally processed or newly harvested state. Bamboo pulp, wool, raw silk and cotton boll are examples of raw materials. In the context of textile production, raw materials are spun into thread or yarn, which is subsequently woven into various fabrics. |
| Reactive Dyes |
Eco friendly dyes that are great for cotton and cellulose fibers. They are much brighter, longer-lasting, and easier-to-use than all-purpose dyes. Fiber reactive dye is the most permanent of all dye types. Unlike other dyes, it forms a covalent bond with the cellulose or protein molecule. Once the bond is formed, the dye molecule becomes an actual part of the cellulose fiber molecule. |
"True fashion is about non-toxicity. If fashion pollutes, it should no longer be called fashion, it should be called pollution."
