The natural fibers can be of animal origin like wool or cashmere, or of vegetable origin like cotton, linen, hemp.
But why should you choose natural fibers instead? What are the advantages?
With the help of the article published on "Il Font" we try to answer these questions by indicating the 5 advantages of natural fibers.
1) Breathability and thermoregulation: wool and other natural fibers are known for their ability to regulate body temperature and allow good breathability. This means that wool garments can keep the body warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot. For these reasons, we decided to produce a polo summer short-sleeved in extrafine merino wool.
2) Reduction of washing: garments made of natural fiber absorb odors less than synthetic or artificial ones. This allows wearing them multiple times, reducing the number of washes and the consequent consumption of water, electricity, and the release of polluting detergents into the environment, contributing to environmental sustainability.
3) Reduction of microplastics: synthetic and artificial fibers can release microplastics into the environment. Natural fibers do not have this problem: a great advantage for the sustainability of the ecosystem.
4) Quality and durability: natural fibers are more durable and of high quality, characteristics that allow the garment to last longer.
5) Environmental sustainability: the use of natural fibers reduces the overall environmental impact of the textile industry, as it requires fewer fossil and chemical resources compared to artificial and synthetic ones.
Lanaioli's choice to use natural fibers (cashmere, misto lana cashmere e seta, cotone) is a responsible decision that takes into account both the environment and the comfort and health of consumers.
