A small square swatch of sage-green knit with a smooth, close, faintly diagonal surface and lightly scalloped edges.

The collection includes six samples of Mattera regenerative cotton textile, including: PM35 Jersey, PM36 Diagonal Fleece, PM38 Interlock, PM40 Rib, PM41 American Fleece, PM41 Rib 2x1, and regenerative cotton fiber. All samples are 100 percent GMO-free and 100 percent pesticide residue–free. This material is produced based on three regenerative principles: reduce resource usage, restore biodiversity, and raise farmer livelihoods.

Composition

Cotton fiber

Handling Notes

  • Can be used to sew, weave, or knit
  • The swatch was made from cotton that was grown without pesticide residue. Due to this, the swatch takes natural and fiber-reactive dyes more cleanly than conventional cotton
  • Consider pre-washing before use; all cotton knits and fleeces shrink on the first wash without pre-treatment
