Fabric.com Tuesday Deal


Be Earth-friendly today with this deal from Fabric.com: 50% off all eco-friendly fabrics!

Eco-Friendly fabrics are the wave of the future. What makes a fabric eco-friendly?  There are several ways for fabrics to qualify being eco-friendly. It may be a natural fiber such as cotton, hemp or bamboo which has been grown without the use of pesticides in soil that has not been treated for at least three years.  If the fabric is dyed, it must be with a low-impact dye. Recycle plastic is also considered as eco-friendly. The fabrics in this category have met these conditions to be a "green fabric".

Organic cotton is grown in an environment where no pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides have been used for a minimum of three years. Organic yarn spinners have set isolated processing areas in order to segregate the organic cotton from the conventional cotton. The dying and finishing of organic cottons also follows a strict procedure for chemical use in processing, eliminating all materials harmful to the body and the environment.

As well as fabrics Fabric.com also has bamboo and soy batting and reusable insulated totes on sale!
