Description

This wonderfully silky fiber is perfect on it's own or used for blending with other fibers. SeaCell is about 4" long and very strong. Here's a little bit of information on this wonderful fiber.

SeaCell�pure is a cellulose fiber containing seaweed (e.g. ascophyllum
nodosum).
The idea behind SeaCell�pure is actually quite simple: The natural raw
materials cellulose and seaweed represent the basis for the manufacture
of the SeaCell�pure fiber, employing the "Lyocell Process". The cellulose
fibers act as functional substrate for the seaweed.

� Breathable
� Soft
� Supports skin blood flow
� Stimulates skin cell regeneration
� Pleasant touch, comfortable feel

Seaweed is added as the active substance for a good reason. The fact that
this marine plant is rich in various minerals, trace elements,
carbohydrates, fats and vitamins, has been well-known since the times of
Chinese medicine. Moreover, seaweed has been proved to protect the
skin and exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, which also unfold in the
SeaCell�pure fiber.

The SeaCell�pure fiber offers the manifold properties of seaweed and its
health-promoting substances. The structure of SeaCell�pure facilitates an
active exchange of substances between fiber and skin. The natural body
moisture releases the constituents when the fabric is worn.
The effect of SeaCell�pure remains unchanged even after numerous
washing cycles.

Numerous tests, carried out by various institutes and organizations,
examined the fiber properties and confirmed the durability of the
SeaCell�pure effect.
In cooperation with the Fresenius Institute in Berlin, it was demonstrated
that, in the humid environment of the skin surface, the SeaCell�pure fiber
is able to release its active ingredients as required.
The SeaCell�pure fiber is non-cytotoxic (cytotoxic refers to the property
of substances or certain cells to destroy other cells) and hence well
tolerated by the skin. Patch tests (skin test to examine allergic reactions to
substances), carried out by Friedrich Schiller University Jena,
demonstrated that the SeaCell�pure fiber does not cause any allergic
reactions and irritations on sensitive skin.

Features
Seaweed is found almost exclusively in water. Its activity forms the basis for the existence of all other organisms living in the water. The minerals contained in the seawater accumulate in the seaweed. This explains the large variety of chemical elements found in the seaweed material. Moreover, they contain carbohydrates, amino acids, fats and vitamins.

Due to these substances seaweed is used in cosmetics to improve the blood supply of the skin, activate the cell metabolism and enhance cell purification. The mineral salts which are important for the renewal of the skin cells and are contained in seaweed-based cosmetic products ensure that the skin remains fresh, firm smooth.
The substances found in seaweed have anti-inflammatory and artipruriginous properties and are in particular used to support therapeutic measures against skin diseases like psoriasis and neurodermatitis. Moreover, seaweed extracts can contain and enhance the production of glucosamino glucanes which accelerate the healing of skin inflammations caused by infections or allergic reactions, on teh one hand, and protect the skin from free radicals and harmful environmental impact, on the ther. THe carotenes contained in the seaweed,which are the precursors for Vitamin A, are used in cancer treatment.

Luxury from the sea	August 16, 2008
Reviewer: Mollie Abramitis from Santa Monica, CA United States

SeaCell is really amazing. It is gorgeous, with a pearlescence and shine that is incredible. It has similar spinning qualities as soy silk or tussah, although it is more akin to soy. It is not pure white, but has a greyish-green cast to it. It's a bit darker than tussah, but a shade lighter than soy and not as yellowish. I can only describe the colour as an antique cream coloured pearl. The sheen is as nice (if not nicer) than even silk.

This fibre is very strong. In fact, I believe it would make for a great blending material for sock yarns, instead of using nylon.

I also used a fiber reactive dye to dye the material in roving form. It took the dye marvelously.

Although it is rather pricey, a little bit goes a long way. I truly believe that this is a fantastic fibre that everyone ought to try.
