Which fabrics are called eco-friendly?
People usually mean organic cotton, lyocell, hemp, or recycled polyester when they say eco-friendly. Those are different claims: farming, solvent recovery, or recycled input. None is impact-free, and a blend can undo the story. FabStitch does not rank them. Read the composition and any certificate on the cloth.
- Natural origin is not a full impact story.
- Hemp is not in the FabStitch catalog as a named family here.
- Do not print biodegradable without a condition and a source.
How to compare without a winner
Ask what is being reduced: pesticide use, solvent loss, or virgin polyester.
Then ask whether this roll has the document, or only the fiber reputation.
