T
he Performance Days Fall edition in Munich closed it’s doors over a week ago and for everyone who wasn’t able to attend in person, we wanted to share our highlights and News. But first a big thank you to everyone who visited us at our booths and made it an awesome two days!
Durably Strong. Betaspun®
Elephants stand tall with their exceptional strength and durability, just as Betaspun® technology, elevating lightweight performance yarns to new heights. A fine Polyamide filament twisted around Merino wool provides the wearer with resilience and comfort.
A deep, remarkably intelligent bond — like the one elephants form within their herds.
Betaspun® yarn properties:
- Significant strength boost
- Extra abrasion resistance
- Better pilling performance
- Clean surface with Polyamide
- Fine yarn to use in lightweight applications
- Perfect for seamless, circular and warp knitting
Wool in Footwear
We had the great pleasure of participating in the first edition of the Footwear Area at this years Performance Days. We had so many interesting discussions about the usage of natural materials in this man made fibre dominated industry.
Additionally we won the Jury award with a shoe upper textile made from a mix of our Jawalan and Toscana yarn.
- Yarn Details:
- Toscana Nm 40/1, 100% wool 21,5µ untreated
- Jawalan Nm 28/1, 100% wool 26µ untreated
- Benefits:
- High micronage increases durability and strength of the finished fabric
- The wool of both yarn is untreated to be able to felt and create a compact and resistant fabric
- After felting the inside of the fabric was brushed to create comfort and a micro climate to manage humidity
- Anti odour
- Thermoregulation
- Moisture management
Supply Chain Power
Last but definitely not least we would like to thank our partners who supported us with brilliant ideas and products to show at our booth!
Namely Circle Sportswear who you might have heard of from our Innovation Hub story about their NaturalRunner, Santoni who sent us beatiful samples created with the X Machine which produces seamless, zero waste knitted uppers using a revolutionary 3D intarsia technology and Coatyarn whose sister company Expotex provided us with Grilon® polyamide to create knitted 3D structures using our Icevict yarn.
