It starts out as a lil\u2019 flower grown from the earth and grows up to be a fluffy cotton boll, which gets spun into the oh-so-soft fabric we know and love. Fabric tech now allows it to be blended with other textiles, even the synthetic ones, to add that winning flexibility, long life, and especially *chef\u2019s kiss* luxury feel. When spun into yarn, we start looking at organic cotton for light upholstery in the home, like curtains, rugs, pillows. Check, check, check, all home decor covered. Not to mention<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/cotton-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0cotton<\/a>\u00a0is basically the centerpiece of sustainable fashion. Dresses, blouses, skirts, you name it. The fabric comes in so many guises, too. Natural homespun blends like Cotton Linen for its firm handle. Cotton Silk Satin, where the elegant face of silk meets the muscle of natural cotton. Twill weaves for an ultra-breathable feel. Cool and lightweight lawn blends and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/eyedjoe.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10959\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So why cotton? For one, cotton is just really good at breathing \u2013 and I mean way better than oil-based synthetic fabrics like polyester. Thanks to the shape of the tiny, all-natural fibers that make up every cotton thread, it absorbs moisture really well. So it\u2019ll keep you cool in your bed sheets for a pretty night of sleep, during a workout, or for whenever you\u2019re a victim of a freak heatwave.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/custom-printed-cotton-satin-fabric\">Cotton\u00a0<\/a>can be cozy, too. It has a ridiculously soft feel because of its \u2018staple\u2019 or fiber length. When that staple length increases like in our 100% Pima Cotton, the fabric becomes softer, smoother, and just so much more durable\u2013everything you want and need in your new fav luxury bedding. It has a beautiful weight, so it\u2019s fine without being see-through. Stunning to sew with and even better to wear. With fabrics, there\u2019s such a thing as too much stretch. But cotton knows how to keep its shape really well even after machine washes. Easy to care for and clean, yes, please. We like our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/custom-printed-cotton-linen-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cotton<\/a>\u00a0feeling and looking beautiful at\u00a0<em>all\u00a0<\/em>times so we can rewear our clothes and stay loyal to our soft drapes. For our more premium Pima Cotton, more threads are woven into each square inch to produce a finer, softer and more flexible material. Best of all, cotton is 100% natural. Our natural cotton contains absolutely no chemicals and is, of course, sustainably sourced. The fabric is grown on a farm and woven in the EU. It\u2019s biodegradable and recyclable, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cat111.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever noticed cotton can feel pretty different at times? Some\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/custom-printed-denim-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cotton<\/a>\u00a0is made up of shorter fibers that feel less smooth to the touch, are actually prone to those less than fancy bobbles and degrade over time. Sure, they\u2019re perfectly suitable for use in some products but not if you want to spend a good part of your life with them. Everything we create is luxuriously soft, smooth, and durable because we believe in winding down well with our products for a long,\u00a0<em>long\u00a0<\/em>time. Cotton can, for sure, bring more ease, comfort, and simplicity to your life. We have the market\u2019s best fabric range, and in it, the nicest high-quality cotton fabrics and blends to spin cloud-like comfort into your home and on your body.

You\u2019ll want to wear it all summer, and conveniently, you can (you know, because they\u2019re so durable).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At House of Contrado, we know cotton, which is why we\u2019re able to provide the best quality\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/cotton-fabric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cotton<\/a>\u00a0for a luxury feel and long-term, sustainable wear.
