TRENDS

We are moving on to our third Wellness Strategy sub-trend called Feel Good Texture. 

Feel Good Texture: playful tactility …

Tactility will become increasingly more important as consumers seek sensational products with playful textures such as relaxed rib, structured waffle, and soft terry. These resort-inspired textures are sweet, unique and luxuriously soft to the touch – adding spiritual wellness to the season.

Recommended yarns for Feel Good Texture:

• askin: cooling and UV-protective polyester fiber
• regen askin: 100% recycled cooling and UV-protective polyester fiber
• aqua-x: cooling and UV-protective nylon fiber
• regen aqua-x: 100% recycled cooling and UV-protective nylon fiber
• creora® color+: spandex/elastane, which has excellent dye-ability and color fastness in blends with nylon, which is dyed with acid dyestuff. It can reduce grin-through on textile products and makes fabric colors deeper and more vivid
• creora® eco-soft: spandex/elastane that offers exceptional softness and whiteness. This unique fiber enables heat setting at low temperature compared to common spandex/elastane. This improves hand-feel in blends with heat-sensitive, cellulose-based material, reduces fabric yellowing and offers dimensional stability. Lower heat consumption allows manufacturers to safe costs.
