天然繊維にこだわる理由
yinyangではコットン、リネン、ヘンプなどの天然素材に加え、必要に応じて伸縮性を持たすために必要な5％-10％のポリウレタン混合の生地を使用しています。
天然素材には化学繊維にはないさまざまな魅力があります。
天然素材は吸湿性・保温性に優れていて、季節を問わず快適に過ごすことができます。
特に、リネンやコットンは繊維の中が空洞になっているため、通気性が良く、夏は風を通して涼しく、冬は空気を含んで保温性に優れています。
また、吸湿性にも優れているため蒸れにくく、やわらかな肌触りは肌への負担が少ないため肌の敏感な方にもおすすめです。
そして、素材感や自然の風合いを楽しむことができ、その風合いは時間とともに変化するため、経年による変化を楽しみながら、飽きずに長く愛用していただけます。
Main natural fibers used at Yinyang
Organic Cotton
This refers to cotton that has been grown in accordance with strict standards without the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, or other agricultural chemicals for more than two to three years.
Organic cotton products are produced in a way that minimizes the environmental impact throughout the entire manufacturing process and adheres to social standards such as occupational safety and the avoidance of child labor.
Rayon / Modal
At yinyang, we use rayon made from fibers extracted from beech and eucalyptus leaves, which is characterized by its glossy, smooth feel.
Unlike synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, it is a regenerated plant fiber made by extracting the cellulose contained in plants, dissolving it, and then regenerating it into a fibrous form.
Linen
It is a natural plant fiber made from the dried stems of flax. Linen is the softest of all hemp varieties, and is smooth and comfortable to the touch.
The thin and durable fabric becomes softer and shinier with use. It is antibacterial, non-allergenic, highly absorbent, quick-drying, and biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly material that can be returned to the soil.
Hemp
Hemp has excellent antibacterial and deodorizing properties among all flaxseeds, and has excellent moisture-regulating properties due to the countless tiny holes in its fibers.
It is an amazing plant that can be grown in a wide range of soils, from cool to temperate and tropical zones, and from poor to fertile. It does not require the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers during cultivation, and all parts of it can be used; it even improves the soil.
EcoN
The EcoN series is smooth to the touch and has good stretch, and is made from eco-conscious Italian material made from recycled nylon.
The high-quality material is highly breathable and quick-drying, without restricting skin breathing, making it comfortable to wear even during sweaty seasons or when practicing yoga, which requires a lot of physical activity.
The EcoN series is tag-free with the brand name and washing instructions printed directly on the product, making it even more comfortable to wear. It is also recommended for water activities such as the beach or pool.
