Organic Cotton FAQs
Is 100% organic cotton the same as 100% cotton?
No. While the fiber is the same, organic cotton is grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and is processed using gentler, non-toxic chemicals.
Is it worth buying organic cotton yarn?
Yes, it's worth it for the improved purity and its environmental benefits. Organic cotton yarn is a premium choice for items that touch sensitive skin like baby clothes.
Is organic cotton yarn softer than regular cotton?
Generally, yes, because the organic cotton fibers are exposed to fewer harsh chemicals during processing, which helps preserve their natural integrity and resulting softness and drape.
