Why Organic?
- Conventionally grown cotton is one of the most heavily treated crops in the world.
- If all cotton currently produced in the world was grown organically, we would see a 25% reduction in global insecticide use.
- Conventional agricultural methods can cause water contamination.
- Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases.
- Organic is better for you and the planet.
Sateen is a slightly shiny and very soft fabric that is often described as buttery because of it’s smooth feel. Sateen holds bold colors well while maintaining its softness and is known to resist wrinkling, so it’s easy to care for. Sateen is a weave in which many threads are aligned tightly together in the vertical direction, creating a flat, smooth, shiny and very soft surface on one side of the fabric and a slightly matte one on the other.

Excellent quality, beautiful fabric (good weight, strong but not overly heavy and still soft). Made a snuggly wool comforter with this and the eco wool for my son–he loves it.
