FAQs
Read the full fiber composition rather than relying on the product name. A label stating 100% cotton identifies a single-fiber fabric. A blend lists two or more fibers, which may be all natural or a mix of natural and synthetic fibers.
Cotton often has a soft, familiar feel, while linen typically has a more distinct texture and a naturally rumpled look. The weave, knit, weight, and finish also affect the feel, so fiber type alone doesn’t tell the whole story.
No. Knit and woven describe how a fabric is constructed, not what it contains. Knits use interlocking loops, while woven fabrics use interlaced yarns; either construction can use natural fibers or blends.
No. Natural fiber describes the fiber’s source, while organic refers to how the source material is grown and produced under applicable standards. Look for an explicit organic designation rather than assuming all cotton or linen is organic.
Follow the care label for each piece, since fiber mixes, dyes, and construction can call for different routines. Check washing temperature, drying instructions, and ironing guidance before the first wash. Similar-looking fabrics don’t always need the same care.
