Diamonds

About

No synthetic filler in this quilted fabric. The filler is organic cotton yarn - although "filler is a bit of a msinomer, because there is no third layer.

Eco Facts

GOTS requires that not only are the fibers spun in to the yarns be third party certified organic[1], but that every step of the production process adhere to a strict set of requirements, including; no chemicals can be used which have been proven to harm humans or the environment at any stage of the textile production process; water must be treated to a very high standard before release back into the local river, lake, whatever; and certain worker safety and worker rights issues are honored, like no child or slave labor and a certain minimal level of safe working conditions (Still a prominent problem in textile production.) Although it does not explicitly address carbon footprint, a GOTS certified FABRIC is the best choice by far, carbon wise right now. Exponentially better than recycled polyester, for instance, or of conventional cotton fabric. Even a GOTS certified fabric shipped from Asia to America is lots better, carbon footprint-wise, than a conventionally produced fabric of any fiber type. (See our FAQ about carbon footprint if you're interested.) GOTS does allow up to 5% non-organic fibers in fabric, such as the use of lycra giving stretch to fabrics; and there are lower levels of GOTS allowing down to just 70% organic fibers. The fabrics must be labeled 70% or whatever. Our GOTS fabrics are all 100% organic fibers.

The Fabric Name

Diamonds is a soft, quilted (using thread) fabric, quilted using diamond shapes.. The diamonds are equilateral parallelograms (I think I am remembering my geometry correctly) where the diamonds are the same size top to bottom and side to side! That size being 7/8 of an inch.
