South West Trading Company was founded by the mother daughter team of
Jonelle Raffino and Jonette Beck.
SOYSILK®, the trademark name for the company’s Soy Fiber, is the
foundation. SOYSILK® is made from
the proteins in Soy – a renewable resource. The fiber is soft like silk
yet warm, like cashmere. It wicks away moisture and has a soft, gentle
drape.
Interestingly, Henry Ford first thought of the idea of Soy Silk in the
1940s. However, during WW2 the government chose to endorse Rayon and
Nylon and it would be decades before Soy fiber came to fruition. Now,
this stunning fiber is available from
South West Trading
Company for spinning, knitting, crochet, and weaving.
SWTC is always looking for new and innovative ways for new yarns and
fibres that are of the highest quality and part of the new concept of
green textiles. Yarns made from soy, bamboo, corn, milk are all
renewable resources, biodegradable, contain no petroleum and are
manufactured to be eco-friendly.
