It offers exceptional strength and cut resistance while being Lightweight, durable and low in stretch, it is ideal for reinforcing high-stress areas in technical garments.

Nuyarn
Nuyarn® is a spinning technology where wool fibres are drafted along a high-performance filament to create two-ply yarns with greater volume and aeration than traditional twisted yarns. The result is a wool fabric that dries faster, is stronger and warmer, and retains its performance properties even after countless washes.
Dryarn
Dryarn® is a high-performance microfibre yarn developed by the Italian company Aquafil. Lightweight and highly insulating, it’s even lighter than wool and polyester. The fibre is exceptionally breathable and absorbs very little moisture while maintaining excellent thermal properties, making it ideal for use in base layers and performance apparel.
