Lenpur: A Fabric Made of Wood

White Fir

Fabric is potentially the last thing you would think a tree can produce. Nevertheless, for some time now clothing from lenpur has on the market. What is lenpur? It is a fiber made from the pulp of the white fir tree. This pulp is sustainably harvested from said trees in order to make the fibers that are in turn converted into a range of goods.

What does it feel like? Despite coming from a tree, lenpur fabrics have a soft hand not unlike that of cashmere. Because of its soft feel, lenpur fabrics are today being used for outer- and undergarments. Fabrics made from lenpur fibers are known for their absorbency and anti-odor properties.

Organic and Environmentally Friendly Fabrics

The Robert Kaufman fabric company has an answer for quilters, dressmakers and crafters looking for more ecologically responsible fabrics. To that end they have introduced a varied line of organic fabrics. All of these fabrics are part of Kaufman’s greenSTYLE collection. Here are some examples:
