100% Orange Fiber Fabric

Orange Fiber is a textile made by extracting the cellulose from the fibers that are discarded from the industrial pressing and processing of the oranges. The fiber, through nanotechnology techniques, is also enriched with citrus fruit essential oil. The the result is a vitaminic textile that nourish the skin like a not-greasy body lotion. This innovative idea has the potential to bring sustainability inside the textile industry, tackling the the environmental issue of the citrus waste production and bring job opportunities in a disadvantaged land.

The citrus sector is suffering and in general the labor market is stagnant, especially for young people. The project potentially can have important positive social and economic effects for the island. From an environmental prospective it is not less interesting. There is a massive production of citrus and consequently a production of waste materials from the industry, up to 700 tons per years. Orange fiber is offering a solution to the problem of reducing the amount of this materials.

100% Organic Rose Petal Fabric

Rose Petal Fiber is another one of the new ‘vegan’ spinning fibers, made from roses. The Rose Petal Fiber has been extracted from the natural waste of rose petals. The fiber has been stripped and processed to create a luxurious and soft spinning fiber, similar to silk.

Rose Petal Fiber is very fine and quite slippery so it needs to be spun with a tight twist.

Rose Petal Fiber is made using the smallest whorl size wheel. Worsted spinning method uses a short forward draw, spinning from the top of the fiber bundle and carefully drawing out a small amount of fiber at a time and not letting the twist get into the fiber bundle.

These finely spun rose petal fiber yarns are also best if you also ply them. Plying takes a bit of extra time, but it helps to create a stable and balanced yarn that will not stretch and pull apart
