Coville to present eco-friendly knits at OR
US-based fabric supplier Coville will present new eco-friendly knits at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, which is to be held in Salt Lake City on August 8-11.
The new performance apparel range has been made using strataTek knitting technology – made by Alandale Knitting Company – and features printed and eco-friendly fabrics.
The technology creates a platform for combining multiple fibres or yarns into a single fabric. Coville uses tthe technology to combine Innova®antimicrobial polypropylene, manufactured by American Fibers & Yarns Company, with materials such as organic cotton and nylon. The resulting fabrics – part of the AM/P2 Collection – show that polypropylene can now be used in fabrics that are printed, environmentally-sustainable and that offer performance qualities including antimicrobial, thermal regulation, moisture management, colourfastness and stain resistance.
