Every natural textile belongs to one of two families: plant or animal. This fundamental distinction—separating cellulose-based materials like cotton and jute from protein-based fibres like wool and silk—dictates how a fabric will breathe, insulate, and improve over time. Whether it is the moisture-wicking “hollow straws” of linen or the heat-trapping “springy crimp” of wool, the physical shape of the fibre is the ultimate architect of seasonal comfort.
