At Enaya we are using various types of material oriented by Natural, Regenerated & Synthetic methods –
1. Natural Fibers Yarn – Jute, Linen, Hemp, New Zealand Wool, Pure silk, Cotton etc.
2. Regenerated Fibers Yarn – Viscose, Silk Rayaon, Bamboo silk, Tencil etc.
3. Synthetic Fibers Yarn – Recycled PET, Nylon, Polypropylene, Acrylic etc

All are differentiate by each other by their source of origin, construction, spinning techniques and fiber strengths 

1. Bamboo Silk not just looks like silk but also has alike texture. However, bamboo silk is a reasonable alternative of natural silk. Bamboo as a plant is extremely sustainable and so is the fabric as compared to natural silk. Bamboo Silk is a kind of viscose as both are made from the phloem part of the tree. Both Bamboo silk and viscose are made of cellulose. Even the process of making the fiber is similar in both the cases. The only difference is that viscose was as a matter of course made from wood cellulose while Bamboo silk was made from bamboo tree cellulose. In both cases the woody part of the tree is treated to break the outer walls into a soggy material so that the fiber can be disentangled and spun into yarn after being combined with other components. Hence Bamboo silk shares a lot in common with Viscose.
2. Bamboo silk and Tencil are two similar textile fibers in the way they are grown and processed. At Respecters, we work with both of those textiles. Those two fibers are derived from sustainably grown trees without insecticides and pesticides (Unlike cotton which uses 25% of world’s pesticide). They grow with little water on lands that are not suitable for agriculture. The resulting fabrics have similar properties in terms of softness, durability and quality. However, there are three significant differences from similar, but distinct, process used to transform the wood into textile fibers –
(i) The Solvent – Sodium Hydroxide Solvent used For Bamboo silk while N-methylmorpholine N-oxide Solvent used for Tencil to dissolve wood in textile fiber.
(ii) Water recovery – In Bamboo silk process require water as a solvent and may not good for water footprint while in Tencil processing which guarantees that 99% of the water and solvent used are recovered and reused again and good for water foot print.
(iii) Required Blend – Bamboo silk is Blend of 67% bamboo pulp & 27% Organic cotton while in case of Tencil doesn’t need to blend (92% Tencil from wooden pulp + 8% Spandex for durability and comfort).

3. Rather than Silk is totally different from all of the above, is a natural fiber. Real silk does not come from a mixture of chemicals or the spinning of sheep’s wool. On the contrary, it is created by insects. Caterpillars, worms, and even some crickets make the cocoons from which we derive silk proteins. Most of the silk we buy online and in stores comes from silk moth caterpillars. These caterpillars create delicate cocoons out of silk fiber, much like a spider spinning a web with her own “silk.” Commercial silk producers breed these caterpillars (also known as silkworms) to produce white silk thread. When the cocoons are collected, they unravel in one long thread, which ensures that nearly all of the thread can be utilized and woven into strong cloth and rugs.
