The Many Benefits of Organic Cotton
There is a world of difference between regular and organic cotton. Anyone who has used organic cotton products will find it hard to return to regular cotton. The benefits of organic cotton don’t just stop at the quality of products. Since natural cottons are not chemically stripped of its natural wax, most weaves have a characteristic smoothness and weight.
No toxic chemicals are used in the growing of organic cotton. It doesn't damage the soil, has less impact on the air, and uses 88% less water and 62% less energy. Conventional cotton uses about 16% of the world's insecticides and 7% of pesticides.
The purity of cotton fibers is judged from the way the cotton is picked. Cotton is either handpicked or machine picked. Organic cotton is completely handpicked, preserving the purity of every fiber and ensuring that no fiber is damaged in the process. Regular cotton is more in demand and supply, and is usually machine-picked to cope with the rush. This doesn’t maintain the purity of the fibers, and also damages cotton fibers in the picking process, leading to loss and wastage. Organic cotton products are softer than regular cotton because of the longer fibers. Being handpicked ensures these fibers don’t get weakened or broken, resulting in softer and more durable products.

You're Sure to Love the Softness of Ring Spun Cotton
Ring spun cotton is smoother and longer than open end yarn. The term “ring spun” means that the yarn goes through an innovative spinning process that's designed to thoroughly soften and straighten each fiber. The result? Softer, more refined fibers.
Regular cotton is made from soft vegetable fibers that are twisted together to make yarn, which is then woven to make material.
Ring-spun yarn is made by twisting and thinning the cotton strands to make a very fine, strong, soft rope of cotton fibers. Ring-spun cotton goods are softer, more durable and last longer than their regular counterparts, but will also be more expensive, too, due to the process it takes to create such a durable yet luxurious feeling blanket.
