The theme of hybridization, the combination of alternative and different fibers in order to obtain yarns that are characterized by innovative fancy effects, bulkiness, lightness, opacity or sheens, in an increasing element of experimentation. Without forgetting how well-designed blends influence the “hand” of the product, its workability, the total quality and the comfort to wear.

Fashion and knitwear in particularly are even more oriented towards the development of new yarns, where the hybridization is the result of the mixture of natural fibers only. Well-known materials of vegetal and animal origin, but also upgraded fibres thanks to the attention and care that more and more are dedicated to breeding and cultivation, according to the new sustainability rules. No more synthetic fibers for knitwear and if necessary, for technical reasons, they will be for sure recycled polyamides and polyesters fibers.

The yarn collections for Autumn-Winter 23-24 are remarkably rich of these excellent natural hybrids, starting from precious blends of cashmere with ultrafine and extra fine merino wool, made even more sensual by the combination with silk and the airiest yarns that are integrated with baby alpaca.
