Cotton and Wool, Mohair, or Alpaca which is the perfect marriage?

The link between cotton and wool is characterized by a sports wedding. Inside the couple, cotton is the one who wants to be the center of attention. Cotton is always used on a white base and, consequently, is always visible inside. He wants to be constantly noticed to remind everyone of his presence and his being an organic and breathable fiber. Wool, on the other hand, is able to absorb moisture and its hygroscopicity makes it a temperature regulator able to protect the body both in cold and hot conditions. Theirs is a fluid, label-free relationship.

The marriage between cotton and wool has a good performance and embraces both women’s and men’s fashion, making it so versatile and suitable for everyone. The negative aspects of this union are mainly found in the result of a yarn too often made in 5 or 3 fineness. Moreover, the repetition in the use of the basic white cotton tends to give a slightly sparkling connotation.

For this reason, expectations for Pitti are high, the desirable evolution would be to find a spinning that also produces a cotton dyed and no longer only white and that falls into the fineness 7-9 thousand, to create fancy garments perfect for the first autumn collections!

The marriage between cotton and mohair is a romantic bond. Mohair is available in very fine titles from 12, 15,000 nm, and this makes it perfect for developing very ductile yarns. The lightness of mohair softens the appearance of cotton, making their combination more graceful. Also, from the point of view of the costs, this union is interesting because the cost of cotton compensates for the high cost of the mohair kid. The femininity of this process makes cotton mohair a yarn mainly for women’s collections. The hope is that the spinning mills will invest in this particular relationship!

So, what is the perfect wedding? For us definitely what has not yet been celebrated!!
