Michell as the Alpaca industry leader continues to work hard in order to provide new Alpaca yarns with unique characteristics for the textile industry worldwide.
Introducing Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca, which is an anti-shrinkage enzymatic treatment that allows the use of Alpaca yarns in new products that require machine washing and -very importantly- it is made in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
The characteristics of the new Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca yarns are:
- The natural character of the fiber is maintained, and not as other treatments that loses it because the fiber is covered with synthetic material. - We obtain a cleaner (whiter) fiber compared to the yellowing acquired by other treatments. - All the treatment is free of chlorine, resins and sulfuric acid, so do not present any kind of problem for tributaries. - Do not contain any type of harmful chemicals. - It is approved by Oekotex, Blue Sign and Reach. - Maximum shrinkage is only about 8%.
The new Sustainable Easy Wash Alpaca is recommended for hand knitting, machine knitting, hosiery and weaving.
