Organic Cotton Yarn - GOTS Certified
At By LOHN, all products are crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn. GOTS, or Global Organic Textile Standard, is the leading international standard for organic textiles, ensuring environmentally responsible and sustainable production practices.
What is GOTS Certification?
GOTS certification guarantees that cotton is grown without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. The entire production process—spinning, weaving, and dyeing—adheres to strict ecological criteria. GOTS also includes social and ethical standards to ensure fair working conditions for those involved in the production process.
Why Choose GOTS Certified Cotton?
GOTS-certified cotton is a mark of quality and responsibility. It assures that every step from harvesting to processing and finishing meets rigorous standards. This certification ensures that:
- Cotton is grown organically without toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
- The production process avoids harmful chemicals and heavy metals.
- The working conditions of those involved in cotton production meet ethical and fair standards.
Organic Cotton Yarn Details
Organic cotton yarn is made from 100% plant fibers, sourced from cotton plants cultivated without artificial chemicals. Although only about 5% of global cotton production is organic—making it more expensive—its environmental and ethical benefits are substantial. Organic cotton production avoids the harmful impacts associated with conventional cotton farming, such as pollution and health risks for workers.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your organic cotton products, follow these care guidelines:
- Wash items separately to avoid discoloration.
- Use a wash program with extra rinse cycles, but avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the fibers.
- If not using a tumble dryer, reshape your items to their original size after washing and dry them flat.
- To preserve color, consider soaking the product overnight in cold water with vinegar.
By choosing By LOHN's GOTS-certified organic cotton products, you support a more sustainable, ethical approach to textile production while enjoying high-quality, eco-friendly items.
