We are a specialist, proud of producing comfortable fabrics for over 50 years and one of the first European weavers to use elastic yarns. Our production facilities are unique as they were specially designed for producing stretch fabrics. In fact, all our machines were bought with the specifications for producing elastic fabrics (and some were specially developed for us) which allows us to guarantee incomparable quality and consistency. WOOL WOOL is an outstanding fiber: it is resilient allowing for quick recovery of the original shape, has natural elasticity for increased comfort, it is breathable and absorbs moisture thus becoming thermoregulatory, capable of keeping us warm when it is cold and keeping us cool when it is hot. It is also naturally odour resistant.

STRETCH Being leaders in stretch fabrics it is useful to explain the advantages of adding stretch to fabrics: how does it improve your garment? Elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its unique elasticity, but garments made with elastane have a number of advantages besides being able to stretch. Because the fabric can expand it gives you freedom of movements: it adds comfort and performance. The extra flexibility improves the fit and shape retention of the garments: it adds crease resistance and crease recovery, preserving garment shape and allowing for a perfect look all day. In addition, it is easy to care for and being wrinkle resistant it saves you time. All of this leads to high performant and comfortable garments with exceptional wearability.
