About

Winthrop Too is a heavier weight than our original Winthrop. At 16 oz it is a rugged blend of organic linen and organic cotton fibers. GOTS Certified. The fabric is a canvas, with tightly twisted yarns, soft yet substantial, with a lovely drape. Perfect for upholstery and slipcovers.


Eco Facts

Winthrop Too is a GOTS certified fabric. What makes a fabric "organic" is not simply the fact that organic fibers are used, but that the entire process uses only inputs whose toxicity profiles prove they are safe for humans- and the planet. 
Even a fabric that is advertised as being made of "100% organic cotton" is 77% cotton and 23% residual chemicals by weight if conventionally processed.*

The Fabric Name

Winthrop Too is also, like Winthrop, named after the rugged town in eastern Washington State which provided background for The Virginian, America's first western novel. Bordered on the west by the pristine forests and stunning views of North Cascades National Park, Winthrop remains a lovely center for river rafting, cross country skiing, and other outdoor activities.

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?
