American Blossom Linens Introduces Dye Free Bedding Made From Naturally Grown Colored Foxfibre® Organic Cotton

THOMASTON, Ga., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Blossom Linens, a direct to consumer brand of bedding, made by family owned Thomaston Mills, introduced a new color called Latte Linen to their line of organic cotton bedding. Latte Linen is made from a blend of West Texas organic cotton and Foxfibre® naturally grown colored cotton. Thomaston Mills has been making bedding for over 115 years in the town of Thomaston, Georgia. While nearly all textile manufacturing and production moved overseas, decimating factories and jobs, Thomaston Mills stood resolute and kept manufacturing here in the USA. Thomaston Mills brought back American Blossom because of a need for sustainable products, impeccably made in the USA by friends and neighbors. These are products that will last and last and never go out of style.

What makes Latte Linen different from any other bedding product on the market is that it is made from a base fiber of natural West Texas organic cotton combined with Foxfibre® Coyote Brown heirloom cotton. Foxfibre® is organically grown in a rich color which is integral to the fiber itself. These linens are completely dye-free, not a drop of dye is needed to give these sheets their beautiful shade. Dyed fabrics start to fade after a few washings but the color of Foxfibre® will bloom deeper and richer over time. The touch will even grow softer, the more you use it and wash it. Natural variations in the fiber cause each set of bedding to be as unique as the plants it comes from. This creates a fabric that has the look of linen and the performance of the most luxurious, percale bedding.

This wonderful cotton called Foxfibre® was created by Sally Fox, a "cotton pioneer" for her efforts regarding organic, colored cotton. In the 1980's she was the first one to develop the systems to grow and promote organic cotton in the USA, which started the conversation about organic textiles. The naturally colored cottons that Sally works with have existed for centuries and are traced back at least 4300 years and originated in the Americas. Heirloom cotton was once abundant and grew in a rainbow of shades including green, yellow, blue and brown. She did what no one thought was possible. She hand bred ancient, naturally pest resistant varieties that can be grown using organic and biodynamic farming methods. She was able to develop long staple lengths that allowed the cotton fiber to be spun into high quality yarn.

Naturally colored heirloom organic cotton is also more vigorous, drought tolerant, pest and disease resistant and requires less water. When Foxfibre® cotton is used there is no need to dye fabric in order to obtain a rich color. It is free from harmful chemicals. This saves the environment from water wastage and chemical exposure in the dyeing process. Toxic chemicals are often used to dye cloth in developing regions with little environmental regulations or worker safety protections. Most commercial non-organic varieties of cotton use GMO seeds that have been bred for homogeneous characteristics like white color. They require tremendous amounts of water and are highly dependent on the use of herbicides and insecticides.

The Latte Linen collection, available now on the American Blossom Linens website, includes sheets sets, duvet sets and pillowcase sets. The linens are generously sized with extra deep pockets to provide an excellent fit on almost any height mattress. "Top or Bottom" labels act as visual cues to help you place the fitted sheet correctly on the mattress.

Creator Sally Fox describes the quality best when she says, "I believe that it's the suppleness. The smallest amount of Foxfibre® added in with the white cotton gives it a softness that no white cotton that I have found has. You lay down on those sheets and you feel it. Not only that, these fabrics last a long time, much longer than white cotton." American Blossom Linens are 100% made in the USA using traceable organic cotton grown by family farmers. All the components of American Blossom Linens bedding are grown, processed, finished and sewn in the USA, supporting American workers and dramatically reducing the carbon footprint. The linens are American all the way from the farm to the bed.
