Nurnburg - Südwolle Group, the spinner of worsted yarns in pure wool and wool blends has unveiled its new flat knitting yarn collection for Spring/Summer 2023.
For this Spring/Summer season Südwolle partnered with the Knitwear Lab, the Dutch Design and Development Centre, to create garments that combine the elegance, classic appearance and timeless look with the comfort of athleisure. The male look consists of a fine knitted polo shirt with contrasting details and smooth breathable texture made in Microfiamma Seta Nm 37000 Merino wool Extrafine blended with silk. The trousers have a relaxed fit, made with the OTW Onyx Nm 2/48 Merino wool Extrafine yarn, that in combination with the
Stoll-weave-in knitting technique gives a heavier texture with a pleasant soft touch.
In the female outfit, a layered wrap skirt is styled with a long-sleeve top, both created in a delicate rib knit with a pointelle stitch. The top is made of OTW Opal Nm 2/60 Merino wool Superfine, while the Godwin Nm 2/48 Merino wool Extrafine blended with Lenzing Lyocell gives the lustre silky touch to the skirt.
The new collection also includes options for summer apparel in natural blends providing dry and cool touch: Runda Nm 2/60 (70% Merino wool Superfine, Super 120’S, 17.5 mic, anti-shrinkage, 20% linen, 10% silk), Carlisle Nm 2/60 and Nm 2/80 (70% Merino wool Superfine, Super 160’S, 15.5 mic, anti-shrinkage, 30% silk) or Banff Nm 2/60 (50% Merino wool Superfine, Super 120’S, 17.5 mic, Total Easy Care, 50% Ramie). Ramie is a natural cellulosic fibre that gives the blend lightness and minimizes shrinkage.
The blend of wool with functional fibres like Coolmax EcoMade Polyester Mistral ECO Nm 2/48 (45% Merino wool Extrafine, 19.5 mic, anti-shrinkage, 55% Coolmax EcoMade Polyester) is another yarn within the collection, where the balance of nature and functionality helps creating comfortable active wear.
The range of fine and superfine yarns made out of 100% Merino wool rounds off the Spring/Summer offering.
Also available are bestsellers like Victoria Nm 2/30 & Nm 2/48 (100% Merino wool Extrafine, 19.5 mic, antishrinkage) and Brisbane Nm 2/60 (100% Merino wool Superfine, 17.5 mic, anti-shrinkage) as part of the expanded stock service range.
Sudwolle has also outlined how sustainability and traceability play a continuous role in its collections and reflect the sensitivity and values that drive people’s daily lives. In the new collection “Respect for Future” the company presents a range of certified organic and traceable yarns. To meet the increasing demand on RWS yarns, it has created a stock service for selected colours (Victoria RWS Nm 2/30, 100% Merino wool Extrafine, 19.5 mic, antishrinkage).
