“Snug as a Bug” 100% Organic Cotton Blanket by MushBugs

Message from the Creator

“I’m mushbugs an autistic artist and content creator who has a special love for all things nature, specifically mushrooms and bugs. I’ve had a special interest in bugs ever since I can remember. They’re an often overlooked crucial component of the functioning of our planet!

This blanket was inspired by the phrase “snug as a bug in a rug” and the insect designs were modelled after real insects that I have pinned and framed. I wanted to go for that organic, cozy, and slightly retro feel and color pallet. Having a color pallet with some natural earth tones such as greens and browns is always key for me as I feel it brings in the energy of the trees, a home for many bugs. 

This was my first experience with a graphic design project, and I couldn’t be happier!”

Material

This knitwear, like all of our quality Little Good Knits, should be treated as a piece of wearable art. It is built to be collectible and last for decades.

100% organic cotton is ideal for pregnancy care, babies, kids and people with sensitive skin. It has good air permeability, it keeps warm, absorbs sweat and dries quickly, is not sticky or greasy, and does not generate static electricity. Because there is no chemical residue in the production and process, so it will not induce allergies, asthma or atopic dermatitis. 100% organic cotton is exceptionally soft and comfy, with no irritation, and is ideal for baby’s skin. In addition, it can help prevent eczema in children. Compared with other chemical fiber materials, organic cotton is more environmentally friendly and the degradation time is relatively short. In general, organic cotton is more durable than regular cotton. Because its strands are stronger, it can last longer and be washed and worn more often.

100% Organic cotton is cotton that is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators and other synthetic substances. The seeds were never genetically engineered. This kind of planting aids in maintaining the ecosystem’s equilibrium and the quality of the soil, resulting a lower environmental impact. We also always choose setups that grow organic cotton in conjunction with community development projects that make local people’s lives better.
