Our Materials

At LTL Creations Co., we proudly source materials from local Canadian companies! Our materials are hand selected from local suppliers and we make our best effort to support local businesses in any way that we can! We believe in sustainability, which is why we work towards not wasting any materials, as well as striving to use ethically sourced materials to make our products.

Satin

Satin is one of our original fabrics and also one of our favorites! Satin is such a luxurious fabric with a beautiful finish and silky soft feel. We use various types of satin, some of which are slightly more rigid than others, though all of them are still super soft and flexible. Satin is a gentle fabric and feels great in your hair.

Interestingly, the term "satin" refers to the weave of the fabric, and not the fabric itself. Most of our satins are composed of 100% polyester, though some may also contain other fibers such silk, rayon, spandex and cotton.

Crepe

Crepe fabrics are most commonly made of synthetic fibers, but can be made of natural fibers as well. The fabric is woven and undergoes a special treatment process in order to achieve a rippled, three-dimensional look. Different crepe fabrics can have different textures, most commonly this bubble-style or rippled look.

Even with its textures, these fabrics still posses a soft and flexible feel. Crepe fabrics most commonly have moisture-wicking properties as well!

Crepe fabrics are most commonly composed of polyester, but can be made from almost any fabric, including cotton, rayon, and more.

Cotton

Cotton has been around for centuries and has been able to truly stand the test of time, as it continues to be one of the most popular and commonly used fabrics worldwide. Cotton comes from the fruit of cotton plants, whose fibers are then spun into yarn or thread. These threads are then woven and thus, made into the fabrics we use today. Cotton is a lightweight, cool and breathable fabric. It is gentle on the hair while still being both strong and durable.

Our fabrics we use can either be 100% cotton, or be a cotton blend. The most common blend is cotton-polyester, though there are other options to blend cotton with, such as rayon, linen, and more. Blends may contain various percentages of each fabric, simply based on manufacturer preference.

Chiffon

Chiffon refers to a variety of soft, sheer fabrics. Its simple weave style makes it durable, yet lightweight and breathable. Due to chiffon fabrics being sheer, this makes them semi-transparent, with different types of chiffon being more transparent than others. Chiffon has a tight weave, giving it a smooth texture and is soft to the touch. It is slippery against itself and is gentle on your hair!

Chiffons can be composed of a large variety of fabrics, including both natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, nylon, rayon and polyester.

Disclaimer: due to the transparency of chiffon fabrics, the elastic inside certain scrunchies may be visible at times.

Velvet

Velvet is another luxurious fabric with its soft and silky feel. There are different types of velvet with different textures, but all velvets we use here at LTL Co. have that iconic sumptuous appearance.

Our velvet scrunchies, with their silky textures, will not only feel great, but they will look great in your hair as well! Due to the specific weave style, velvet does not have raised weaves which makes it extremely durable in comparison to other fabrics, all while maintaining elegance. Velvets feel extremely soft and silky, with a lustrous shine.

Velvet can be made from various fabrics, including silk, cotton, spandex, polyester, and more.

Sheer

Sheer fabrics are a semi-transparent fabric, typically made of polyester. The transparency of sheer fabrics give our scrunchies a subtle, light and elegant look. It is still soft to the touch, but more rigid than a chiffon. Added bonus? They usually have sort of a shimmer about them, adding to their elegance.

Active Wear

Our active wear scrunchies are made using a variety of fabrics. These scrunchies are mostly water-wicking and dry quickly compared to some other types of fabric! This make them the perfect match for beach days, workouts and more!

Our two main active wear scrunchies are a spandex blend and a mesh. Both of which can be composed of spandex, polyester, and nylon.
