Yarn spinning
Fibre is drawn out and twisted into yarn. Yarn count, twist, and fibre content influence how a fabric knits or weaves, and how it feels and wears.
Sustainability / Materials & Traceability
Understanding the materials behind each garment.
Material selection starts from how the garment will be used and how it should look and feel.
01Fabric structures
Structures shown in our current range.
The fabric options available for a programme are confirmed during development.
From fibre to fabric
The textile stages before the garment.
Yarn and fabric choices shape how a garment looks, feels, and wears. They are agreed with the buyer during development. Images illustrate the textile process.
Fabric weaving
On a loom, warp yarns are interlaced with weft yarns to form woven cloth. The weave and finish determine the fabric’s weight, handle, and stability.
