Why is it more expensive?
Because the production of organic cotton can be more labor intensive, it tends to be more expensive than other cotton fabrics. The price is well worth the satisfaction of knowing that organic cotton products are truly the most environmentally friendly choice.
Does organic cotton wrinkle?
Yes, cotton is a material that will naturally wrinkle, unless it is chemically treated. None of our organic cotton products are treated with any wrinkle inhibitors.
Is organic cotton as durable as conventional cotton?
Yes. Because it is less processed, organic cotton is often more durable than conventional cotton. Organic cotton is not treated with harsh chemicals that can wear down its fibers. A distinction here must be made between organic cotton and cotton/polyester blends. Cotton/polyester blends tend to be easy to care for and will last for a very long time. The reason is that polyester does not readily break down, even after it has been discarded.
Does organic cotton shrink?
Yes, all cotton naturally shrinks when washed. Most of our items are not pre-shrunk; however, they are cut large to allow for shrinkage. When washed and dried according to instructions, our organic cotton items will shrink to the size that is advertised.
