There’s an innate magic in the way cotton moves on our bodies. The way it flows with our rhythms and breathes just as we breathe - each fiber carries a story. At ShopYego we source our cotton from the heart of Ethiopia, where every thread is touched by human hands and tradition, not machines and mass production. 

In a world overflowing with synthetic fabrics and fast fashion, choosing natural cotton is an act of resistance and a return to our roots. It is a conscious decision to remain grounded in our bodies and connected to the Earth.

The Origins of Our Fabric

Ethiopia’s cotton story begins in the sun-drenched lowlands, where smallholder farmers nurture cotton plants without heavy chemicals or industrial machinery. Cotton here is hand-harvested and de-seeded using simple wooden gins passed down through generations.

Once harvested, the cotton is hand-carded using a bow instrument that fluffs and aligns the fibers, preparing them for spinning. It is common tradition for women to spin the cotton by hand - a practice passed down through generations. With skill, patience, and rhythm, they twist the soft fiber into strong, breathable thread. 

This thread is then woven by weavers into fabrics that carry texture, memory, and meaning. Whether a breezy dress, a flowing jumpsuit, or a handwoven blanket - each piece is cut, sewn, and finished by hand, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully crafted and wonderfully unique. By supporting our collection, you help preserve traditional skills, empower artisans, and keep a beautiful legacy alive.

Why Natural Cotton Matters

Cotton isn’t just a material - it’s a living fiber. Unlike synthetic fabrics such as polyester or acrylic, which are derived from fossil fuels, natural cotton is biodegradable, renewable, and kind to your skin. Here’s why choosing natural cotton clothing is a radical choice that promotes a healthy lifestyle not only for our bodies, but for the earth:

🌱 Breathability: Cotton allows your skin to breathe, reducing sweat and irritation.

🌱 Non-Toxic: No petroleum-based fibers, no plastic microfibers shedding into the ocean.

🌱 Hypoallergenic: Ideal for sensitive skin, babies, and those with eczema or allergies.

🌱 Compostable: Cotton breaks down naturally at the end of its life - no landfill legacy.

Choosing cotton is more than just deciding what to wear in the morning - it’s an embrace of comfort, quality, and conscious living. It’s about surrounding yourself with pieces that feel good and do good, for you and for the Earth.  

The Frequency of Fabric: What You Wear Affects Your Energy!

Much like our auras, different types of fabrics have different vibrational frequencies. Natural fibers like cotton and linen carry a higher energetic frequency than synthetic fabrics and are more in alignment with the human body’s natural rhythms. This isn’t just spiritual - our bodies are constantly interacting with our environment on subtle levels. Wearing fabrics like cotton that have similar vibrational frequencies as our bodies helps:

✨ Regulate the body's natural rhythms 

✨ Ground you throughout the day

✨ Support a calmer nervous system 

✨ Improve sleep and overall wellbeing 

This is why cultures around the world have long wrapped their bodies in plant-based textiles - not just for comfort, but for connection to the grounding energies of Earth.

We celebrate the beauty of high-frequency fabrics like cotton, blending Ethiopian craftsmanship with modern design to create clothing that looks good and feels good on every level.
