MESCLAT
Mesclat (meaning 'blend' in Occitan) is made from 50% hemp and 50% wool. It is produced by Virgocoop, a French citizens' cooperative. It encourages the revival of a declining hemp textile industry and saves sheared wool destined to be thrown away. Ubac has been a member of Virgocoop for many years, and is involved at the heart of this revival of natural, local textiles.
For example, mesclat involves almost 80 hemp farmers and 20 ewe breeders.
HEMP
In agriculture, hemp grows without pesticides or irrigation, and cleans the soil. With its partner farmers, Virgocoop produces textile hemp, which is then processed into short fibres. There are several ways of spinning hemp, but the know-how of the textile hemp industry, which was very present in France until the middle of the 20th century, has practically disappeared. Today, the cooperative is still unable to spin 100% hemp without outsourcing production.
By using short-fibre hemp mixed with wool, it is possible to carry out all the processing stages in traditional Occitan carded spinning mills. The result: a 100% French, 100% natural, 0-dye fabric that enhances the value of an entire industry.
WOOL
For years, wool has been destined for destruction due to a lack of textile applications, but Virgocoop now harvests it from farmers in Lozère. This provides additional income for the producers, and promotes a highly valuable material: natural, thermo-regulating, insulating and anti-bacterial.
Mesclat saves 12,000 kilos of wool from being thrown away.
PROPERTIES
Mesclat is a fabric that combines the virtues of hemp and wool to create thermo-regulating products that keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Hemp and wool are also highly resistant and anti-bacterial, helping to prevent unpleasant odours. Natural to the core, mesclat is not dyed, avoiding the use of water and chemical products.
