Swimwear benefits from Cifra's warp knitting know-how
04/12/2020
The Italian company’s speciality is creating seamless garments that fit naturally to the body by using a single piece with various knitted ‘zones’.
It uses body mapping technology to create the mesh holes over heat zones, providing breathability and cooling, and seamless construction means the weight is reduced because edges don't require additional finishing.
The range, which can also be worn during the day as bodysuits, includes knits in pre and post-consumer recycled yarns such as Radici Group’s Renycle, a polyamide 6 obtained from production waste, or Aquafil’s Econyl, made from plastics recovered from the oceans. Both can be blended with a recycled elastomer.
