The choice of fibres satisfies two key criteria: sustainability and biodegradability, supported by RWS (Responsible Wool Standard), GOTS certification and by traceability of production in accordance with bluesign standards. In addition to summer-weight wool, linen, silk and cotton, biodegradable man-made fibres of plant origin with a green production process are employed, such as viscose and Tencel Lyocell.

Use of recycled materials takes on key importance, offering trendy new effects and stylistic solutions with a view to achieving a circular economy in compliance with GRS (Global Recycled Standard).

“The theme shared by the whole collection is the presence of slightly rough textures, minimal 3D effects and refined slubs, demonstrating an ability to make the most of the intrinsic properties of the fibres,” the group explains. “The collection focuses on today’s colour trends, drawing inspiration from a palette of 12 Pantone colours. Along with bright, elegant colours like diplomatic blue, lobster and violet, the collection features subtle powdery hues like powder and hay that are the keys to the season’s trends.”

Innovation / Summer Vibes

This trend focuses on worsted wool yarns in summery natural blends with linen, cotton, bourette silk or viscose, a man-made fibre that originates from cellulose. Atmospheres are natural, in line with the season’s trends: slub and shantung effects, 3D motion, with slight flaws and irregularities artfully added to elegantly underline the quality and personality of each fibre.

Innovation / Life-styled

Stronger together is the slogan chosen to express the spirit of a family of yarns, which underline the natural properties of wool with the addition of high-performing technical fibres, such as Trevira cationic polyester and Lycra. This New tech orientation interprets the dynamic lifestyle, comfortable fit and demand for practicality characteristic of today’s intense lifestyles without giving up the natural qualities of wool.

Innovation / Be special

The potential of pure wool is expanded with easy-care, soft touch and comfort fit treatments. Appropriate for creating versatile garments in a contemporary mood, yarns make maintenance simple and sustainable, replacing professional dry-cleaning with home washing at low temperatures.

Innovation / Conscious mood

A selection of sustainable yarns made from wool traced according to the RWS standard, with GRS certified recycled materials for a natural, contemporary look. Some yarns use denim by-products to create a new yarn with a fancy rough effect that adds a touch of unusual colour to create a post-industrial mood.

Innovation / Fashion’s calling

Fine wool and micro-viscose yarns are ideal for unisex fashions with their soft, silky feel, crêpe effects and draped fit.

H. Fancy / Cotton thrill

The unique character of H. Fancy yarns reveals all its potential in this family of rough, twisted cotton yarns that create refined effects of relief textures. Blends containing easy-care wool and polyamide are perfect for creating elegant micro-slubs, mouliné effects and trendy 3D surfaces.

H. Fancy / Natural wonder

Wool, linen and bourette silk blends demonstrate the effects that can be created by combining materials characterised by differences in texture, luminosity and colour response. Polyamide contributes an emphasis on the contrast created during twisting between its gloss, the refined matt look and natural rusticity of linen, and the micro-slubs of silk. A delicate crêpe feel and mouliné effects suggest unlimited creative potential.

H. Fancy / Fierce touches

This plucky modern trend supports the contemporary fit of viscose and permits creation of glossy, slippery garments of pared-down design with a crêpe feel. Tencel Lyocell, cool, soft and shiny, is the sustainable key to these yarn blends.
