Organic cotton means no pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides were used on the cotton while it was growing, and no harsh chemicals were used to wash, process, or spin the fiber.
A really valuable asset of this scarf is the naturally-colored cotton. Dyes and the chemicals commonly used to apply the dyes to the fiber can be toxic. Residues can remain in the cotton yarn even after washing. The disposal of dyes and dyebaths can be harmful to the environment, as well.
Buying and owning a handwoven scarf made from undyed fiber, cotton grown in these wonderful natural shades of brown, means you are protecting yourself from possible chemical residues, and you are reducing the amount of potentially dangerous used dyebaths.
