Ananas is an ideal choice for spring and summer garments, as it is made entirely of natural fibres that remain breathable and cool in warm weather. The pineapple fibres are obtained from the leaves of pineapple plants, which are normally considered waste and are often burned. Instead, these fibres are now being processed sustainably, without the use of chemicals or bleach. Created using an enzyme and mechanical process, these give the yarn a slightly rustic look without making it scratchy.
