PROCESSING
OF THE ORGANIC COTTON USED BY COYUCHI
After
the fiber has been picked, it is ginned at a facility near the growing
area. Ginning removes the seeds from the cotton fiber or lint, as
it is called. The lint is then baled and sent to the Coyuchi mill
in Punjab, India where it is spun into yarn, then woven into fabric.
It is a state-of-the-art facility with computerized looms and the
best spinning equipment available. The facility is ISO (International
Standards Organization) 9002 certified-which speaks well for both
the quality of production and its labor and environmental practices.
Once at the mill, the lumpy cotton lint is turned into a fuzzy cloud.
This first step is called carding, and the cotton product, roving.
Carding homogenizes the fibers, spacing each one equidistantly from
the next. The roving must then be combed. Combing aligns the fibers;
it separates out the longest and strongest fibers from the weaker,
shorter fibers. These fall out from between the teeth of the comb
and become noil-a material that makes ideal mattress stuffing. The
roving is now spun into yarn.
Coyuchi
has been recognized for its role in bolstering the production of organic
cotton. Coyuchi received the United Nations Second Annual Fashion
Industry Award for Environmental Excellence. Every fiber of cotton
used is produced in accordance with the standards set forth by the
International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM).
Individual organizations handle the actual certification: IMO, a Swiss-based
organization, certifies our Indian-grown cotton; SKAL, a Dutch certifier,
must approve Ugandan and Turkish cotton. What standards must COYUCHI
meet in order for cotton to be certified as organic? At the top of
the list outlined by IFOAM in its Growing and Processing Standards
are the following: seeds must be non-genetically engineered; insects
should be controlled by methods that simulate what occurs in the natural
environment, where "good" bugs eat "bad" bugs. There must also be
an emphasis on keeping plants healthy- healthy plants are more resistant
to infestation-fields are usually weeded by hand. Organic farms are
not allowed to use any chemical fertilizers or chemical inputs, such
as herbicides or other pesticides. Still, no matter what organic farmers
do to prevent disease and insect infestation, their yields are less
than conventional yields. All COYUCHI organic cotton is grown in three
developing countries-India, Turkey, and Uganda on family farms that
range in size from 2 to 250 acres. We willingly pay premium prices
to these small-scale growers for their organic cotton fiber, because
this encourages organic practices that protect, not only the environment,
but these farmers, their families, and their communities from exposure
to toxic agricultural chemicals. By purchasing Coyuchi cotton at a
better price per pound, local farmers are supported and economically
sustainable production is possible.

fabric changes with washing. The thin, polished quality becomes fluffier,
thicker and less shiny. We recommend that Coyuchi bedding be washed
with warm water, using a laundry product free of chlorine, chemicals,
fragrances and enzymes. Check your health good stores for safer than
usual products.
