And for good reason, in addition to its image already associated with ecology is a renewable natural plant that grows quickly; an advantage for farmers. In addition, this culture does not require No fertilizer and very little water, a benefit for the planet. Known and Now recognized, this plant has many assets ideally adapted to the world of textiles. With robust shoots it allows obtaining a silky, highly absorbent fabric (4 times more than cotton), anti-UV, antibacterial and anti-odor. Mixed with cotton, This fiber makes the textile non-deformable, not very wrinkle and very soft to the touch. To date it is important to dissociate bamboo fiber (more rare), manufactured using environmentally friendly processes, and bamboo viscose for which chemical treatment is required.
Washing tip: Wash at 60 ° C maximum, the passage in dryer is possible. 
Wool: Of animal origin wool is without No doubt and this since the dawn of time, the fiber associated with winter and cold. Soft at will, very light, surprisingly warm because Composed of 80% air, and almost crease-resistant, it comes from the fleece of sheep and other sheep.

Nylon: Nylon is a synthetic fiber known for its flexibility, extensibility and strength. This one is part of the same family as polyamide. Having low power Absorbent, nylon allows rapid drying and is therefore regularly used to make swimsuits. This has the advantage of Do not wrinkle.
Instruction from Washing: Washing and drying possible with a low temperature program. Ironing is usually not necessary. 
Polyamide: Polyamide is a fiber synthetic known for its elasticity. Very flexible and looking silky, it is necessary to distinguish two types of polyamides, nylon and then perlon.

" Lycra " being actually a trademark that was registered by a company producing elastane. We Let us therefore find in this fiber, the second skin effect obtained thanks to the proximity between body and matter.
Abbreviation :PURE; Washing tip: A wash at 40°C with a softened detergent is advised. Do not use a dryer. Ironing possible if really necessary with a warm iron. 
Bamboo Rayon: Otherwise known as the Name of bamboo viscose, bamboo rayon is a fiber artificial. Made from bamboo which is the raw material. This fibre then undergoes a chemical transformation and thus loses the Ecological notoriety offered by this plant. Sweet and pleasant to the Worn, bamboo rayon is preferred to bamboo fiber for Its cost which is lower, but not only. Softer and more flexible that bamboo fiber, bamboo rayon has micropores allowing the tissue to breathe. It is therefore ideal for sportsmen for example. Its resistance to numerous washes as well as Different advantages associated with it, make that the use of This fiber is today, in full expansion.
Counsel washing: A wash at 60 ° C maximum with a conventional detergent allows good maintenance. With rapid natural drying, the use of tumble dryer is not necessary but possible at 40°C maximum. Ironing possible with a warm iron. 
Spandex: Just like polyurethane / Lycra, spandex is none other than elastane. The name " Spandex" is simply used mainly in countries Saxon. Just like elastane, spandex is therefore original synthetic. With the main advantages are elasticity, its Resistance and its ability to have a second skin effect. Drying fast, and the fact that no trace of the stretches received is kept, Also characterize spandex.
Counsel washing: Washing at 40°C maximum is recommended - Do not use tumble dryer. A warm iron allows ironing but is to be used only if need be. 
Silk: Silk is a fiber of origin animal, it is indeed generated by the silkworm during the Creation of his cocoon. You should know that the cocoon is actually realized of a single silk thread by the animal. At the expense of people in charge of spinning, to extract this single yarn without the break. For this, the same process has been used since the year 2500 BC. approximately. The extracted yarn is then combined with other yarns obtained from the same way, so that the final rendering, is more resistant and more thick. Once the silk thread is created, it is dyed and then woven into function of the desired final rendering. Light, fluid and very pleasant to Worn and touched, silk is associated with high-end products because Often used for nobility in the past. Although silk is a textile fixing perfectly well colors, and therefore easy to To work. Its production represents about 0.2% of production worldwide. A small percentage explained by its cost high.
Acronym: SE; Washing tip: Hand wash or dry cleaner recommended. 
Viscose: Based on plant origin and then Then transformed, this artificial fiber is obtained thanks to a part of the wood (cellulose). The varieties of wood used for this are: pine, beech and bamboo. Often compared to cotton for their common characteristics, viscose is indeed not very elastic but nevertheless has a large absorption capacity. Much smoother than cotton, viscose has a luminous rendering with colors shiny and a beautiful shine.
Abbreviation: VI; Washing tips: Wash at a maximum of 40°C - Do not put in tumble dryer. Be careful in case of poor maintenance, viscose has tendency to shrink and deform. Ironing possible at low heat.
