Descrizione
A sustainable yarn made from Japanese reed plants growing near waterways
This yarn is made from a blend of 70% cotton and 30% Japanese reed fiber (Yoshi), offering a unique combination of natural comfort and eco-friendly innovation.
“Yoshi” is a plant that grows naturally along rivers and wetlands in Japan. It is known for its environmental benefits, including absorbing carbon dioxide and helping purify water. This yarn gives new value to this underutilized natural resource by transforming it into a functional textile material.
Yoshi fiber is also known for its natural antibacterial properties, making it a great choice for items that come into contact with skin.
With a cotton-based structure, the yarn is easy to work with and suitable for a wide range of applications, including weaving, knitting, and handmade textile projects.
