From Nature to Movement – Our Fabric Story

From Nature to Movement – Our Fabric Story

At our brand, inspired by the Full Moon Goddess, we believe that the fabrics we choose are as important as the designs themselves. Every thread reflects our values of sustainability, comfort, and timeless beauty. Here, we share the stories of the core materials we use — their qualities, strengths, and how they shape the yoga wear you love.

 

Bamboo Fiber – Our Signature Fabric

Introduction:
Bamboo fiber is the soul of our collections. Naturally eco-friendly, this fabric is derived from bamboo plants and crafted into a soft, breathable textile.

Advantages:

  • Naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant
  • Moisture-wicking and highly breathable
  • Soft and smooth with a cooling touch
  • Biodegradable and sustainable

Disadvantages:

  • Pure bamboo is less elastic without blending
  • May wrinkle more easily than synthetics
  • Slightly heavier when wet

For Yoga Wear:
Bamboo fiber is perfect for yoga tops, leggings, and bras thanks to its softness, breathability, and moisture control. Blended with spandex, it offers the stretch and support needed for dynamic practice, making it our go-to fabric.

 

Cotton – Timeless Comfort 

Introduction:
Cotton is a classic natural fiber loved for its softness and versatility. It remains a foundation in both active and casual wear.

Advantages:

  • Breathable and gentle on the skin
  • Strong and durable for long-lasting wear
  • Natural, plant-based, and widely available

Disadvantages:

  • Absorbs sweat but dries slowly
  • Can shrink if not cared for properly
  • Less stretch unless blended with spandex

For Yoga Wear:
Cotton works beautifully for looser yoga pieces like joggers, sweatshirts, or casual layering. In high-intensity yoga, however, it may feel heavy when wet, so blends with bamboo or spandex are often preferred.

 

Linen – Light & Airy

Introduction:
Linen, made from the flax plant, is one of the oldest and most sustainable textiles. It is naturally breathable with a distinct, slightly textured feel.

Advantages:

  • Extremely breathable and lightweight
  • Strong and durable, even stronger when wet
  • Naturally antibacterial and eco-friendly

Disadvantages:

  • Wrinkles easily
  • Less elasticity
  • Can feel crisp before softening with wear

For Yoga Wear:
Linen is best for lifestyle pieces around yoga — like outer layers or casual wear before and after practice. It’s not ideal for high-movement yoga as it lacks stretch, but it shines in warm weather as an airy, cooling fabric.

 

Lyocell Tencel – Silky Sustainability

Introduction:
Lyocell Tencel is a modern sustainable fabric made from wood pulp through a closed-loop production system. Known for its silky smoothness, it combines elegance with eco-consciousness.

Advantages:

  • Eco-friendly with low environmental impact
  • Silky soft, breathable, and moisture-absorbing
  • Drapes beautifully and feels luxurious
  • Durable and stronger than many natural fibers

Disadvantages:

  • Prone to wrinkling
  • Requires gentle care (may shrink with heat)
  • Less stretch without blending

For Yoga Wear:
Lyocell is ideal for yoga tops, relaxed pants, or hybrid athleisure designs. It absorbs sweat effectively while staying smooth on the skin, though pure Lyocell isn’t compressive enough for performance leggings — blends with spandex are best for active use.

 

Viscose – Fluid Elegance

Introduction:
Viscose, often used in our scarves, is made from regenerated cellulose fibers. It combines lightness with an elegant drape, offering a flowy feel.

Advantages:

  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Drapes beautifully and holds vibrant color well
  • Soft and smooth against the skin

Disadvantages:

  • Not as durable as natural fibers
  • Wrinkles easily
  • Absorbs moisture but dries slowly

For Yoga Wear:
Viscose is less common in performance yoga apparel due to durability concerns but is excellent for accessories like scarves or cover-ups. It adds a touch of elegance to a yoga-inspired wardrobe.

 

Merino Wool – Natural Warmth

Introduction:
Merino wool is prized for its natural softness and thermoregulating properties. Unlike traditional wool, it’s fine, lightweight, and gentle on the skin.

Advantages:

  • Naturally warm yet breathable
  • Soft and comfortable without itchiness
  • Odor-resistant and moisture-wicking
  • 100% biodegradable and renewable

Disadvantages:

  • More delicate and requires gentle washing
  • Higher cost compared to cotton or synthetics
  • May pill with wear

For Yoga Wear:
Merino wool is perfect for cooler seasons, especially for shawls, joggers, or layering cardigans. It keeps the body warm before and after yoga practice while maintaining breathability — not ideal for hot yoga, but wonderful for cozy comfort.

 

Conclusion: Guided by the Moon, Grounded in Nature 

Each fabric we use reflects a balance between comfort, sustainability, and purpose. Whether it’s the cooling breathability of bamboo, the silky touch of Tencel, or the warmth of Merino wool, our materials are chosen with care to support your yoga journey — on and off the mat — while staying connected to the rhythm of the Earth and the light of the moon goddess.
