Newlife launches yarn for high-tech jackets

05/09/2012
The company behind Newlife yarns will be showcasing its latest product, suitable for high-tech jackets, at the Premiere Vision textile show in Paris this month.

The Newlife Light range offers super-fine counts and microfibres, producing soft yet resistant characteristics that make it suitable for use in ultra-light padded jackets.

It uses a system of recycled polyester yarns, made in Italy from plastic bottles, which are transformed into a polymer by way of a mechanical, non-chemical process.

Premiere Vision will feature more than 700 exhibitors and takes place between September 19 and 21.
