New York - The reception to Australian Wool
Innovation?s (AWI) new ?Merino Retract? knitwear technology, which was launched
at last month?s SpinExpo trade show in New York, is said to have been very
positive.
Garments made from ?Merino Retract? yarns
have the attractive look and feel of boiled wool, but have none of the
deficiencies of normal boiled wool products. The garments are fully machine
washable and have excellent stretch recovery properties, so they don?t suffer
from bagging.
AWI general manager of product development
and commercialisation Jimmy Jackson said there had been a lot of interest in
the ?Merino Retract? technology, which is part of AWI?s Merino Casual
autumn/winter 2011/12 collection.
