TRENDS

We’ve reached our last Practical Aesthetic sub-trend theme! It is called Active Lounge. 

Practical performance meets cozy comfort for home activewear. Using ultra-soft yarns or those that have a brushed hand to amp up tactility can bring extra softness for indoor-outdoor practicality. Added performance features such as warming, wicking, and quick drying add appeal.  

Our recommended yarn and fabric suggestions for Active Lounge include:

Hyosung Key Yarns:

• aerolight: lightweight polyester made with post-consumer PET that has excellent moisture absorbing and quick drying properties due to a C-type hollow core and multi-filament structure, which also provides a super-soft hand for added comfort. 
• regen: 3^rd party-certified 100% recycled polyester made from post-consumer PET.
• Mipan® regen: 3^rd party-certified 100% recycled nylon made from reclaimed waste.
• creora® PowerFit: spandex/elastane with high power and excellent heat resistance that maintains its fabric power even when setting its fabric power at high temperature or re-dyeing.
• creora® Fresh: spandex/elastane that possesses excellent deodorizing and durability attributes that do not wash out.
• creora® eco-soft: spandex/elastane that enables heat setting at a low temperature for heat-sensitive fibers offering a softer hand and drape and whiter whites. Lower heat consumption allows for cost savings and improved productivity.

Fabric Suggestions:

• Peached jersey
• Brushed Interlock
• Brushed rib
• Soft terry
