About this material

cotton fiber

Milkofil is a yarn derived from milk existing out of 65% cotton and 35% milk fibre. The fibre that is made from casein, which is the main protein in milk, has long-term emissions of negative ions. It is beneficial for air quality, it stimulates blood circulation, is a natural antibacterial agent and is sterile.

Milk amino acids, which are transferred to the fibre, are a treatment for the skin. Milkofil creates light weaves with a silky look that allows the skin to breathe and humidity to be absorbed.

The yarn is particularly suited for contact with the skin in clothing, underwear and bedding.
