Woolmark presents wool yarns for activewear at Spinexpo
01/09/2016
For the first time at the event, Woolmark presented The Wool Lab Sport, a collection of the most technically advanced wool yarns suitable for use in activewear. It says it carried out extensive research to develop two themes dedicated entirely to sportswear, which are suitable for all seasons.
The Sport Active trend featured high-performance wool fabrics and yarns, mixed with technical fibres, to make them appropriate for physical activity.
Sport Stylish had more focus on fashion, showcasing how Merino wool can feature in clothing for sports such as gold, horse riding and polo.
The Woolmark Company also brought its traditional apparel version of The Wool Lab, which presented trends for Autumn/Winter 2017-18. Three of the seven themes were dedicated to a style suitable for both womenswear and menswear.
The Wool Lab included a theme dedicated to homeware products and interior textiles for the first time. This was to reflect the rising popularity of wool fabrics outside of traditional sectors.
