Color choices & why fabric quality matters

All of our masks can be made in the colors pictured. We only use high thread-count cotton and cotton-polyester blends, which rank among the top best fabrics to use for face masks (according to Cambridge University researchers). Studies show certain fabrics offer more protection than others. After 13 homemade cloths were tested, “quilter’s cotton” was found to be the most effective at filtering small particles. Quilter’s cotton (cotton of 180 thread count and higher) can filter out 70 to 79% of small particles, including viruses (that’s better than surgical masks that filter out 65%).
Fabric studies were conducted by Scott Segal, chairman of anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist Health in North Carolina, in partnership with Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

How to properly wear one
If you’re not wearing your mask properly, you might as well not be wearing it at all, say public health experts. Here are key tips they offer to ensure we’re getting the most protection from the medical-style fabric face mask:
1) Pleats should be facing down when you put it on (like in our photo below).
2) Mask should cover both mouth & nose generously.
3) Make sure mask does not come in contact with your body or your stuff (don’t let the inside of the mask touch your clothes, hair, forehead, chin, neck, hands, etc. And don’t rest it on your neck when you’re not wearing it on your face).
4) Make sure the mask is not too lose on your face.
5) Make sure you wash it every day.
