What to Consider

Materials & Construction

·Cotton — Breathable and comfortable. Standard cotton softens with wear but may shrink. Look for ringspun or combed cotton for smoother, more durable fabric.

·Silk — Naturally strong for its weight with a luxurious hand feel. Resists wrinkles but can be damaged by sunlight, perspiration, and deodorant.
·Made by Artknit Studios in Italy.

·Cotton — Machine washable. Gets softer with every wash. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage.
·Organic — Follow care label — varies by base material.

Sustainability

·Organic — Grown without synthetic chemicals, reducing soil and water contamination. Better for farmers, ecosystems, and the people wearing the finished product.

Cost Per Use

·Cotton — Cotton is affordable but has a shorter lifespan than wool or linen. Organic and ringspun cotton cost slightly more but hold up noticeably longer.
·Organic — Organic typically costs 10-30% more than conventional, but supports healthier farming practices.
·Artknit Studios is known for products that hold up over years of use — which typically means a lower cost per use than cheaper alternatives that need replacing.
·Priced around $275 (midpoint of $150–$400 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 2.9 years — and falls to roughly 57¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
