Australian yoga brand insists on natural fibres

At the same time, Nagnata said part of the focus of its work with The Wookmark Company was on creating sustainably made clothes. Founder and creative director, Lara May, said on announcing the collaboration: “Our aim was to develop an innovative, performance wool, seamless knit fabrication that wasn’t already on the market and which could provide a super soft second-skin hand feel, using the highest possible content of natural fibres.”
The collection blends merino wool with Tencel. Nagnata wanted seamless construction to make sure excess material is not wasted and to eradicate irritation of the skin.
“Our skin is our biggest organ,” Lara May continued, “and absorbs the toxins and chemicals from the textiles we wear on our bodies. Synthetic fabrics are mainly derived from petroleum and these petrochemicals are not something you want your skin absorbing, especially in yoga and breathing-focused practices when your pores are so open.”
