Eco Facts
Washougal and our other fabrics are wonderful because of what they do not do:
They do not support the sale and use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers , etc., to grow the fibers: Chemicals which poison our soils and pollute groundwater.
Our producers treat their wastewater so production does not degrade our streams and waterways;
The fabrics do not contain harmful chemical residues which evaporate into the air or are absorbed through our skin or that are abraded and then you ingest or inhale them;
The fabrics do not accumulate in landfills - they biodegrade (3 exceptions!).
They have not been produced by people being paid unfair wages, working in poor working conditions.
Two Sisters Ecotextiles wants to be among the forefront of companies raising peoples’ consciousness about the far-reaching implications of their textile choices.
Fabric Name

Why choose us?
We've done the work for you
Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things) and to our planet. They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
