Cotton:

Cotton, one of the most used fabrics in the world for millennia, was discovered in Asia, then in the 1700s it appeared in Europe. Cotton is a plant fiber that surrounds a shrub called the cotton plant. When it blooms with its beautiful white or yellow five-petal flowers, cotton finally appears as small balls and is ready to be harvested for your greatest pleasure in your future sewing projects. Mainly used for making t-shirts, washcloths, towels, you can quite well "rough-handle" cotton; it is a very flexible and sturdy fabric, it has several very beneficial qualities: absorbent power and therefore is extremely water-resistant. Cotton also has other advantages: it has insulating power and withstands heat very well; it is a natural material. That is why it is the most used and sold fabric in the world.

Flax:

Flax is mainly produced in Europe, in our French neighbors' regions of Normandy and Picardy, where this light blue-flowered plant has been cultivated for centuries. During the harvest, there are several steps before flax is used as fabric: first, the flax plant is pulled from the ground, then dried for a few days. Once well dried, it is crushed to extract the precious material, the flax fiber, which is then woven to obtain our much-desired fabric. A true thermal regulator, insulating in winter and breathable in summer, flax absorbs moisture, is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic. Flax is generally suitable for all uses.

Wool:

Wool is a material of animal origin; the shearing of the animal takes place in spring and usually happens only once a year. Once shearing is finished, the different parts are sorted and classified according to the quality of the wool. Then the best parts of the wool are carefully selected, cleaned, and dried. Unfortunately, it is not over yet; the wool must then be untangled in a process called carding. When this is done, it can be dyed or left in its natural color. The last step is weaving to obtain your coveted and soft fabric. A true thermal insulator, wool can keep you warm during long cold periods in winter.

Viscose:

Viscose, or artificial silk, is a plant-based textile created by two Frenchmen in the 1880s to meet the demand for a fabric similar to silk but more economical to produce. Viscose is a blend of cellulose carbohydrate, which mainly comes from wood or other plants, and collodion, which replaces the use of silkworms, insects used in silk production. The properties of viscose are close to those of cotton: strong and absorbent. However, the process gives it a more silky and flowing appearance than cotton.
