Unitin, a leading textile company based in Spain, dedicated to the four departments; yarn die, piece dye, upholstery, and denim, has developed a new stock of exclusive indigo yarn, the Ne 30/1 Compact Cotton “S Torsion” Indigo 11 (Inverse Torsion). The new yarn is mainly used in applications like seamless technology and circular knitting in denims.

Unitin Indigo Yarns for seamless denim fashion have been showcased at the BLUEZONE international denim trade fair in Munich, when DEN/IM, a new one piece denim fabric concept, was presented in co-operation with Santoni, Lenzing, and Tonello.

The new complete total look capsule collection developed by Santoni is composed of body hugging, comfortable, sporty, chic and trendy denim items. This stretch indigo denim concept further enhances the idea of innovative knit denim as a counter-point to the traditional woven denim fabric. The genuine DNA of denim is maintained with being Unitin the provider of the indigo dyed yarns.

Unitin indigo-dyed cotton eliminates the need to dye during the garment process, saving much water. Available in a range of indigo hues, different denim tones can be achieved. Unitin, is at this stage, offering the Ne 30/1 in Z & S torsion on standard dark indigo colour while other counts or colours, as lighter ones or blue-black, are available now on Z torsion.

Michael Kininmonth, business development manager for Lenzing said, “Having previously worked with Unitin indigo yarns on a flat-bed knit project and knowing the innovative garment processing developments Tonello have brought to the market, the decision to work on such a project was an easy one.” (GK)
