RadiciGroup’s Biofeel Eleven Yarn Catwalks At Expo
RadiciGroup took part in the Phygital Sustainability Expo held in the Imperial Forum Museum in Rome, where it presented a maxi dress made of Biofeel eleven, a yarn of completely natural origin featuring high technical, aesthetic and environmental performance.
“The dress is not only made from a low environmental impact raw material, but is also an example of ecodesign. It is a zero-waste process, as only the quantity of yarn strictly needed for the garment is used,” the company said.
The garment was manufactured on a Shima Seiki Whole Garment knitting machine, where the entire item was knit directly from spools of Biofeel eleven yarns, bypassing the traditional stages of weaving and tailoring.
According to the Italian company, Biofeel eleven yarn endows the dress with special and unique characteristics, including low moisture absorption, greater lightness and high resistance and durability.
Besides being 100 percent biobased, the yarn is also 100 percent recyclable because it is made of a mono-material polymer, which facilitates its end-of-life recycling and processing into new materials suitable for any application requiring high performance.
