Adidas uses yarn twisting process to add stretch
Adidas Golf has introduced a new material that uses a mechanical process to add stretch to a fabric without adding elastane.

The yarns are coiled, or twisted, to act like micro-springs within the fabric structure. 

Adidas discovered that Twistknit and Twistweave offer golfers performance in a lightweight package, saving 30% to 40% in overall weight compared with similar products.  

Chase Aaronson, senior manager of materials development at Adidas Golf, said: “Golfers need materials that perform, so we’re proud of what we were able to accomplish with this new concept. We believe it can truly introduce a new era in performance apparel applications, even to other sports beyond golf."
