These hand-knitted facecloths are made from a blend of recycled cotton & flax. Cotton is one of the most farmed crops on earth, but uses around 25% of the world’s chemicals. So if not choosing organic cotton, recycled cotton is the next best thing to help farmers, wildlife & the planet.
This facecloth also safely launders, without releasing microplastics (as in polyester fibres) in washing machines, which go out to sea and get accidentally ingested by marine wildlife.
Flax is also a biodegradable crop used to make make linen clothing & home furnishings (and unlike cotton, can be locally-grown). And unlike cotton, it can be grown locally.
