Summer is finally coming and we are banishing thick jackets, sweaters and the like to the back of the wardrobe. Our daily styling now includes airy shirts and – if it is a bit cooler in the mornings and evenings – light hoodies. Have you noticed that some textiles are significantly more comfortable to wear than others? What is the reason? On the materials!
Cotton fibers have completely different properties than chemical fibers. Luckily, because cotton clothing protects us from excessive sweating and sweating on warm days. And if it's organic cotton, you're even making a valuable contribution to sustainability.
Apart from the fact that cotton fibers are very kind to the skin and only have an extremely low allergy potential, they also score points for being significantly more comfortable to wear than synthetic fibers. This is mainly due to the very good air permeability and absorbency. Cotton fibers are able to absorb more than 60 percent of their own weight in moisture. They can also transport excess heat to the outside.
In this way, they have a temperature and moisture regulating effect and help you stay “cool”; to get through hot days. In addition, cotton fibers are very soft and cuddly (keyword wearing comfort!), but on the other hand also super easy-care and hard-wearing.
You can simply wash out a favorite shirt made of cotton fibers in the evening and it will be ready for use and fresh again in the morning. Chemical fibers quickly feel uncomfortable on your body in summer as they can lead to a real build-up of heat. This is because chemical fibers such as polyester absorb almost no moisture. The sweat stays on your body and you stew in your own juice, so to speak.
And there is another ugly effect: Sweaty textiles made from man-made fibers develop a very unpleasant odor because odor-forming skin germs can multiply particularly well in them. In cotton fibers, however, these micrococci do not feel so comfortable. With textiles made of cotton fibers you not only enjoy a much higher wearing comfort, but also prevent the people around you from turning up their noses.
It is always better not to rely on conventional cotton but on organic cotton fibers. Neither chemical fertilizers nor pesticides may be used for their cultivation. This is not only good for the environment, but also for you! Only compost and manure are used as fertilizer, which means that the soil has a comparatively high proportion of humus. This in turn can absorb more CO2 and water: another point for sustainability!
When growing organic cotton, strict attention is also paid to avoiding monoculture, which would deplete the soil and lead to poorer plant health. Diseases and pests are also less common with alternating planting. Organic cotton fibers have a clear advantage over conventional cotton and, of course, over man-made fibers.
With our textiles made of organic cotton fibers you come light and airy, sustainable and also fashionable up to date through the summer, because environmental awareness is very trendy. And let's be honest: You don't want to sweat when partying at the festival or chilling in the beer garden or street café, but want to enjoy relaxed wearing comfort?
The motif shows a scene by day and by night: A deer is drinking peacefully from a lake in the forest, a huge sun is directly behind him and a wood elf is protecting the picture on the top left. Its reflection in the water shows the scene in a much more demonic way: the deer is just a skeleton [...]
The butterfly is a graceful being, a fleeting appearance that doesn't seem to have any weight. Graceful beauty and the freedom given by the ability to fly make him a very special animal.

We are bound to our living space. Without wings we are left on earth, without gills we suffocate under water.

In the 19th century a mysterious manuscript was created - the so-called Huld manuscript. It is a collection of magical symbols and seals that are said to have originated in pre-Christian times.

As a consumer - or manufacturer - of textiles, the question arises again and again which resources should be used best. Whom Environmental protection at heart who pays attention to sustainable and fair trade textiles. The goals are to conserve raw material sources, to produce in a water and energy-saving manner and not to overburden the environment. The course for these projects is already set in the Choosing the right resources placed.
Saved liters of water.
What sounds unimaginable at first is actually a well-known method of clothing production for several decades. Wood becomes for over 100 years used in the clothing industry. Mostly eucalyptus trees were popular. The wood chips are mixed with hot water to a cellulose pulp, which is also known as viscose. Pressing produces threads which are processed for the production of clothing. Because with this method high water consumption and the Application of chemical agents connected, the production process was discontinued.
Today, however, newer production processes can reuse water at 99%, and all that without chemical additives, This is often done with beechwood fibers. These trees grow in our area without the addition of fertilizer, which saves transportation. Through an organic solvent, the cellulose dissolves from the wood chips. The honey-like mass is then formed into fine fibers, dried and processed into yarn. It is also beneficial that wood clothing ecologically degradable is. Popular properties of wooden clothing, for example, are that they breathable, antibacterial and suitable for allergy sufferers at a hunt.
By a similar production process can also Milk as a textile resource serve. Since 1930 became the milk protein casein pressed into fibers and processed into clothing. However, this process used to be one too big water consumption and chemical agents connected. Through modern knowledge is the production these days completely chemical-free and with very little water consumption possible.
Milk does not require long transport routes and is biodegradable. Anke Domaske shows with her company QMILKthat too untrinkable milk can be used. Thus, less milk is poured away. The garments are also said that they emollient be if their amino acids are not killed in the process. Theoretically, the garments can even be eaten, as they are completely harmless to the body and body digestible are. In an interview with the SZ The manufacturer bravely bites into a shirt and chews.
Millions of liters of milk are thrown away.
The first finds of hemp-made products were ropes, which 2800 v. Chr. in China were used. Especially in Asia and India used the tear-resistant and long-lasting natural product. It is obtained from the hemp plant whose fibers can be further processed into substances.
In Europe came the first hemp products at the time of the Celts on. It is mainly ropes that are around 500 BC. were used. Especially in shipping, the fiber was very popular. In the Middle Ages, sailcloths, ropes and sacks were made out of it.
The use of hemp went with the advent of Cotton fiber back because it was much cheaper to produce. In addition, cannabis consumption caused criticism of the plant. Although industrial hemp almost no THC content has (maximum 0,2%), the cultivation was soon banned everywhere. One of the main reasons for this was the government's anti-cannabis propaganda.
Today, clothing and products made of hemp are just one more niche product, The hemp fiber is nowadays mostly used as insulating material. The plant has many advantages over ordinary clothing fabrics. As she very resistant insects and, because of their way of growing, no weeds can develop, they do not have to be sprayed with insecticides and pesticides. This makes it very suitable for allergy sufferers. In addition, the cultivation is very inexpensive and sustainable.
Cultivation is increasing in Asia, but also France, Germany and the Czech Republic are growing hemp plants for the textile industry.
Hemp clothing can be found for example in health food stores or online at hemp love, Pure Pure or HempAge Kaufen.
Percent more fibers than a linen plant.
We summarize: Nowadays there are many alternatives to the already known raw materials for clothing, which are good for us humans and the planet. We at too Von Tiling want with our offer fair produced clothes take a step in that direction.
Due to the still very early stages of the alternatives and still further developments we observe this market and plan in this direction. Another alternative We will also present it later, probably even with a product.

The tag on one shirt says “Wash at 30 degree” and the other one is 40 degrees, but I want to wash them both together.
And that's exactly what you can do!
"Three t-shirts for only 10 Euro!" What offer! That's too good to be true. For a price like that you have to buy it straight away. But what is the real price for such bargains?
The media coverage circumnavigates the topic of Mass production of textiles unfortunately too often. A small protest in the interior is more interesting than the 10. catastrophic fire this year in a foreign factory, in which also German companies produce. The brands, who blame it, circumvent the topic as skilfully as the other media landscape and prefer to emphasize what they are socially engaged for instead. Thus, they represent an image to the outside, which corresponds to the truth in the rarest of cases.
