Nilit works with Santoni for Outdoor Retailer collection

24/07/2017
Israeli fibre manufacturer Nilit will display a capsule collection of seamless athletic wear that it has developed alongside Italian knitting machine manufacturer Santoni at the forthcoming Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, US (July 26-29). 

Santoni’s new range of fine gauge seamless technology was used to create the products. The technology allows for the creation of fabrics with smoother surfaces and makes it easier to place vents and thermal pockets in specific areas of a garment, according to Santoni marketing manager Patrick Silva. 

The collection uses nylon 6.6 yarns from Nilit’s new Sensil brand, including Sensil Breeze, a yarn designed to offer a cooling sensation that reduces the wearer’s body temperature. 

The capsule collection being presented in Salt Lake City aims to show the versatility of both Sanonti’s machinery and Nilit’s yarns.
