Brushed cotton<\/h2>\n

Brushed cotton or winter cotton was created following a need in the market for a warm fabric which is also completely hypoallergenic.<\/p>\n

The Thermal insulation in wool<\/a> is created by the air being trapped between the fibers, similarly in brushed cotton, the same effect is obtained by brushing the inner part. Not all types of cotton are suitable for this process; the Egyptian<\/a> ones for example are too dry. Brushed cotton is produced by using American or Indian cotton because they are more soft and fluffy, hence more air is trapped.<\/p>\n

How it’s made<\/h2>\n

This fabric is made in house, we use a circular machine that creates a ribbed fabric; it’s also possible to produce this fabric in interlock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"machine<\/p>\n

We decided to use ribbed<\/a> fabric because it’s more stable, (it doesn’t twist) it also gives a certain elasticity and weight. The threads used in this process are quite thick (24\/1 or 30\/1) as a result they contribute by giving body to the fabric. Finally the fabric is brushed to create the thermal effect; an added benefit is softness on the skin.<\/p>\n
