Carpet wool-to-clothing breakthrough for TMC
Performance fibre developer TMC, the owner of Nuyarn spinning technology, has launched a new product, Herculan, describing it as a sustainable, durable natural fibre.
New Zealand-based TMC (The Merino Company) acquired Nuyarn in 2013 and began using its specialised technology, centred on wrapping a superfine Merino wool yarn around a nylon core, to create lightweight, durable, stretchy fabrics. It has spent three years modifying Nuyarn spinning machines and has now been able to develop a patented technology to produce Herculan as a result.
