In the area of textiles, when you ask yourself the question of healthy materials, healthy textiles, ecologically sustainable textiles, I actually always hear the answer felt relatively quickly at seminars. You have to take a closer look at that now. Felt a very, very large group of materials, too.

Most people probably mean classic wool felt by the answer. Back to the beginning, the most diverse raw materials, in which case the name already reveals it. Wool felt consists of wool, a renewable raw material with the corresponding positive properties up to the fact that wool can even absorb pollutants, is a very skin-friendly, very comfortable material. Accordingly, many health aspects can be taken into account with this material.

The variety of healthy textiles is significantly larger than classic wool felt, which is perhaps the first to come to mind and be called, goes back to the corresponding fibers that are used. Whether of animal or vegetable origin. There are now textiles on the market, where you can say quite well that from field to fabric, it is a very nice seamless chain, where people work with these grown materials, grown fibers, and where some old technologies are also reforested.

There is currently a lot of research and development, for example in the area of nettle fibers. There were times when nettles were cultivated in large fields. It's actually been a long time since I crossed paths. A fast-growing material with very, very strong fibers. This also has the big advantage, especially from a healthy point of view, that, in contrast to cotton, nettles do not require any pesticides to grow.

It is not for nothing that people also like to call stinging nettles weeds. Accordingly, you don't have to chemically treat it to cultivate it, which of course benefits the environment, your health, a great favor. With these nettle fibers, a wide variety of substances, a wide variety of fabrics, can then be mixed.

Whether as pure textile or, if you take a closer look, there are now many blended fabrics, which are then positive, even though the blended fiber, the individual fibers, are all naturally renewable and healthy. Wool, hemp blend a healthy blend in which each individual fiber performs its own function.

Very nice example, which is always proverbially impressive for me, is a textile floor covering a beautiful carpet that we have lying here, which just uses the triad of three different fibers and each of these fibers from silk fiber to nettle fiber to wool fiber has its own tactile perception and therefore the carpet has a wonderful, beautiful itself not even necessarily barefoot, but also, you notice it when people look at the carpet, take a closer look at the fact that there really likes to go right on They sit, they caress.

Most people are not even immediately aware of why. The potential of this natural blended fiber shows the healthy approximation to this surface structure, how great the potential is this blended fiber fabric.
