Colour Grown Cotton

I've only recently heard of colour grown cotton. It is such a great thing, and I can't believe I haven't heard of it before.

For anyone, like me, who doesn't know what it is here's a brief description.

It was originally used for thousands of years by native american indians to create different colours without the need for dying. Cotton plants can be found in a variety of different colours such as: white, tan, green, yellow, red, and brown. These are naturally occuring colours that cotton grows as, however, because the cotton fibres didn't suit commercial textile machines, white cotton has been the only one used.

Thankfully, it is being used again, which is wonderful news for people with allergies and sensitivities to dyes.

We now stock a variety of organic colour grown cotton baby items, baby blankets, t-shirts and more. Hooray for colour grown cotton!

New Lovelies To Look At...

We are excited to be adding some larger sizes to our collection. We now stock some lovely dresses and pyjamas for older children. I love this little halter neck dress. It is so cool and comfy and cute too! Coming into the cooler months we are now stocking some lovely organic cotton long john pyjamas and there is much more yet to be added to the site...

Premature Babies and Organics

Premature babies are born so tiny, they are very delicate and sensitive. One of the organs most affected by premature birth is the baby’s lungs, as these are one of the last organs to develop. Premmie babies are not yet ready to take over all the functions that the mother’s body is providing. This is why they need special care and breathing support.
So the lungs of a premmie baby may be even more sensitive to chemicals and toxins than a full-term baby. Whether premmie or full-term, your baby needs the least exposure possible to chemicals and toxins. One way of providing this is by using only 100% organic baby products and clothing.

New Stock For Premmie Babies

We are very excited to be adding some new organic products this week from a lovely organic brand called Lapsaky! All week we will be adding new and lovely products for you to check out. Today we have added some really sweet rompers and t-shirts for premature bubbas. For most of these products (except the pink) the colours are not dyed but 'colour grown', which means the cotton is actually grown that colour, eliminating the need for dyes, which is perfect for the sensitive skin of newborn babies. The colours that are dyed are done so by the use of low-impact dye, which allow only the use of non-allergenic, non-metal, and non-carcinogenic pigments. These dyes also have minimal impact on our soil and ground water.

The Importance of Buying Organic

People often ask me whether there is a need for organic clothing thinking once it has been washed, the chemicals will be removed. Many chemicals may be removed by washing, but some such as formaldehyde are chemically bonded to the fabric. It is almost impossible to completely remove formaldehyde from clothing and it is very commonly used in all sorts of clothing. Not only formaldehyde, but also other toxic chemicals.
Many toxins used in the cotton growing process may be removed during the fabric manufacturing process, but many more chemicals and toxins are added back during the dyeing process and garment making, to give the products special properties - eg anti-bacterial, anti-static, wrinkle-free etc. Many of these are dangerous to our health. So organic manufacturing of clothing is important for our health, and especially for the health of a young child.
Organic manufacturing uses natural ingredients in the dyeing process. If imported or travelled any distance, organic clothes may have been sprayed during the transport process. So it is still a good idea to wash before wearing for the first time. These added chemicals, if present, will wash out. You know just by walking through a perfumed area or where someone is smoking, how easily our clothes can absorb odours from the environment.
Another reason for buying organic clothes is to support sustainable farming methods and help protect the environment.
