FABRICATIONS + YARNS

All Weft pieces are crafted from 100% natural fabrications and yarns. Find out why this is important to us here at The Weft.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

 Biodegradability

Natural fibers like cotton, linen, hemp, and wool break down easily in the environment, unlike synthetics (like polyester or nylon), which can take hundreds of years to decompose.

 Less Microplastic Pollution

Synthetic fabrics shed microplastics when washed, which enter waterways and harm marine life. Natural fibers do not release microplastics.

 Lower Chemical Use

Many natural fabrics can be produced with fewer harmful chemicals, especially when organically grown. In contrast, synthetics are derived from petroleum and involve toxic processes.

 Renewable Resources

Natural fibers come from plants and animals, which can be regrown or reproduced, making them more sustainable than petroleum-based alternatives.

HEALTH AND COMFORT BENEFITS

 Breathability & Comfort

Natural fabrics tend to be more breathable and better at regulating body temperature, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

 Hypoallergenic Properties

They are gentler on sensitive skin and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

 Moisture Absorption

Natural fibers absorb sweat and allow it to evaporate, reducing odor and improving comfort.

CRAFTMANSHIP AND QUALITY

 Durability & Longevity

High-quality natural fabrics age well, often becoming softer and more comfortable over time.

 Better Dye Absorption

They tend to take on color more richly and naturally, often resulting in more vibrant, long-lasting tones.

 Connection to Tradition

Natural yarns and fabrics are deeply tied to textile traditions around the world, supporting heritage techniques and artisanal work.

Over the course of the next year, we’ll be introducing garments crafted from deadstock fabric. We cannot wait to show you.
