FABRIC GUIDE
Improve your journey with us by learning more about our plant-based fabrics
Here at Fusion Threads Co, we offer a variety of sustainably sourced, plant-based fabric blends that are thoughtfully chosen to best fit each garment. We believe that natural fibers are the only fabrics that belong on our bodies. They are more breathable, more heat responsive, more comfortable, and healthier for our skin: the body’s largest organ. We believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it!
Our collections feature both seasonal and 'seasonless' fabric blends.

Hemp/Cotton Jersey

Content: 53% Hemp, 44% Cotton and 3% Spandex
Feel & Features: This blend is soft and stretchy yet sturdy.

Garments made in this blend will form fit to your body with every wear, making these pieces like a second skin.
Why We Love It: Hemp is superior for its sustainability and durability. It wicks moisture away from the body, keeping you cool and dry and allowing your skin to breathe.
