A special procedure makes it possible to produce fabrics from milk casein.

The milk protein fibers are healthy for your skin, they provide humidity, and support cell metabolism and prevent skin aging, and of course they are very comfortable to wear. The milk fiber can be used alone or combined with cashmere, silk, cotton, and other fibers. It is also used to create first quality lingerie and under garments.

The organic milk fibers cannot solely be used for clothing, but also for mattresses and linens. Many people might be surprised to hear that you can manufacture clothing made of milk. It's not surprising after all, since 1930 they were able to produce fibers from milk casein, but the procedure was to costly and time consuming, approx. 5'000 gallons of water were needed for 2 pounds of fibers, and it was also necessary to use chemicals. Anke Domaske has developed a procedure that only uses 1/2 a gallon of water for 2 pounds of fibers, and without any chemicals.

The most exciting about this milk fiber is, that the clothing are antibacterial and anti allergic. The fabrics also have a positive influence on the wearers skin.
