Omega Twist Spinning Technology

OTW® spinning technology for fashion

What is good for circular knitting and outdoor garments is also good for fashion garments?

OTW® yarn spinning technology creates superior garment constructions not only for activewear but also for the elegant and timeless garments for the urban life. Apart from the comfort and softness the garments made of OTW® yarns have:

What, why, how.

Omega Twist® is the most innovative and unique wool yarn spinning technology of recent years. After four years of research and development, OTW® was designed and developed from the vast experience and knowledge at Südwolle Groups very own Innovation Hub in Südwebs. The Merino wool yarns spun by this spinning technology have a more uniform and smooth appearance and we are constantly working on updating and optimizing the technology.

OTW® technology was originally developed for the woven fabrics industry to improve the efficiency of the yarn during the weaving process, thus obtaining higher quality fabric in both appearance and performance.

Namely: less pilling, more abrasion resistance, more production yield during the manufacturing process and reduced mending and finishing costs generally needed to construct the best worsted Merino wool fabrics.

The OTW® technology provides fabrics and apparel with better anti-pilling performance, clearer appearance and a superior wearing experience. In addition, it doesn’t require any chemical anti-pilling treatment which significantly improves the environmental impact.

 

  • Reduced hairiness and pilling
  • Maximized durability and abrasion resistance
  • Cleaner surface
  • Better elongation and strength
  • Higher knittability values (higher speed especially by seamless knitting)
  • Soft touch

The overall functional enhancement of Merino wool garments made from OTW® yarns elongates their life cycle and thereby improves the environmental impact of every product containing them.
