    Beware of certified organic cotton.

    I guess I am Katie but only in wool at the moment which I think is the most eco-friendly textile of all.
    My comment on cotton was made because everyone seems to be talking about certified and/or fair trade and/or organic cotton but I still dont know who certifies and how and under what criteria, what represents organic and how fairly its traded.
    It certainly sounds great but I quetion if were going the rightway about this.
