Field to Fabric offers a hyper-local transparent yarn and fabric supply network, bringing climate beneficial textiles from UK farmers to the UK fashion and textiles industry. Our Micro-Mill technology and machinery, which bridges the gap from field to fabric, transforms carbon sequestering flax into beautiful strong linen yarn and fabric. Unlike recycled plastic yarns which shed micro plastics and cannot bio-degrade, flax is an untapped source of durable, high value, non toxic, compostable, natural fibre. In the future our technology will be extended to handle other natural fibres native to the UK, such as wool and hemp. Field to Fabric's end-to-end local supply chains will enable small batch, just-in-time yarn and fabric manufacturing. This will empower small and medium designers to make high value bespoke one-off collections, as well as allowing larger companies to gradually transition to more sustainable and ethical sourcing practices. Our Micro-Mills will be owned and operated by local communities, provide meaningful jobs and serve as educational facilities.

Field to Fabric提供了一个超本地化的透明纱线和面料供应网络，将英国农民的气候有益纺织品带到英国时尚和纺织业。我们的微磨机技术和机械，弥补了从田地到织物的差距，将碳螯合亚麻转化为美丽而坚固的亚麻纱和织物。与再生塑料纱线不同，再生塑料纱线会脱落微塑料，不能生物降解，亚麻是一种尚未开发的耐用，高价值，无毒，可堆肥的天然纤维来源。未来，我们的技术将扩展到处理英国本土的其他天然纤维，如羊毛和大麻。Field to Fabric的端到端本地供应链将实现小批量、即时的纱线和面料制造。这将使中小型设计师能够制作高价值的一次性定制系列，并允许大型公司逐步过渡到更可持续和道德的采购实践。我们的微型磨坊将由当地社区拥有和经营，提供有意义的就业机会，并作为教育设施。
