In addition to uses in fashion and furnishings, for fancy yarns, decoration and accessories, an important application for the Gleaming collection is in the sector of technical clothing with high-visibility features. The innovative reflective yarns in white, black, and light and dark multicolours offer new possibilities for tapes, external labels and accessories; technical fabrics for work clothing with specific safety standards; uniforms, sports clothing and accessories; and hosiery, gloves, bibs and hats for night use, for winter clothing and for northern markets, the company said in a press release.

The Reflex stretch yarn finds application in flat beds or circular knitting and sewing. Its particular composition makes it softer and more versatile in comparison to traditional reflectives. The Gleaming line, composed of articles which are mostly available in stock service, represents a completion of the range of yarns produced by the Marchi & Fildi. The Gleaming yarns are available in various thicknesses, widths and types in both metallised and transparent versions, and iridescent, reflective and phosphorescent effects. The offer also includes articles with particular features of resistance to chemical and dyeing treatments. Amongst the most recent innovations is the line of metalloplastic yarns in 100 per cent polyester obtained from post-consumer recycling with GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certification.
