The linen is grown in northern Italy without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers.

The fibres are spun into yarn and dyed. The low-impact fiber reactive dyes have no chemical toxicity. Care is taken with the waste water so that it does not contaminate the local environment.

The yarns are certified by Oeko-Tex to Standard 100. Oeko-Tex is a third party certifier; it measures the chemicals found in fabrics which are known to impact human health. Their Standard 100 is the most stringent, which means these yarns are safe enough for infants to put in their mouths.

The yarns are woven into the fabric at a mill in southern Italy that has been in the same location for over 100 years. This mill uses absolutely no sizers or de-sizers, in fact it uses no chemicals at all throughout the production process, avoiding chemical baths that degrade the yarn's quality and inherent strength.
