STRETCHING POSSIBILITIES
Nuyarn offers new possibilities, efficiencies and the chance to create products that have never been seen before.
Nuyarn technology produces yarn for ultra-light, high performance stretch fabrics. Our environmentally friendly Nuyarn process allows weavers and knitters to create unparalleled fabric weights that match the stretch and regain properties of other fibres, but with performance properties that no other yarn can deliver.
Unlike traditional core spun or ring spun methods that twist the life out of fibre, Nuyarn technology drafts fibres along a high performance core, creating a structure that amplifies the fibre’s natural properties.
This incredibly fine, 2 ply twist-free yarn performs better across the board – in stretch, loft, strength, comfort, volume, dry time, next to skin feel and mechanical abrasion, spirality, pilling, elasticity, warmth, and ultraviolet protection. As a mechanical process, rather than a chemical treatment, our benefits won’t wash out over time.
On a like for like basis, Nuyarn technology uses 30% less raw materials, and with top-of-the-line machinery it can be spun between 140 -240m a minute, compared to conventional ring spinning at 12-14m a minute. That means our facilities consume less space, and use less energy.

Versatility
Nuyarn's versatility is the material difference.
EVERY FIBRE HAS INHERENT PROPERTIES THAT MAKES IT PERFORM IN UNIQUE WAYS. LAUNCHED IN 2013, NUYARN MERINO PROVED THE TECHNOLOGY AND NOW WE HAVE APPLIED IT TO A RANGE OF MATERIALS, WITH OUTSTANDING RESULTS.
POLYPROPYLENE
Nuyarn’s ultimate blend for durability
The combination of quick-drying, durable polypropylene with antibacterial merino wool creates a soft, light blend that maintains its shape and is perfect for active users.
Tencel
Nuyarn’s ultimate blend for softness
A natural fibre regenerated from wood cellulose, Tencel’s strong, soft and absorbent fibres, combined with Nuyarn, make for a silky, soft fabric that is still warm and durable. It is created through an award-winning eco-friendly process.
Bamboo
Nuyarn's ultimate blend for comfort
Bamboo’s exceptionally soft and smooth properties are amplified by Nuyarn’s unique twist-free structure, minimising skin irritation. It is also durable, anti-stretch, strong and moisture-wicking, with anti-bacterial properties to keep apparel fresh.
Merino
Nuyarn’s ultimate blend for performance
Merino and Nuyarn are a natural partnership, producing a durable, dry, warm and easily wearable fabric that is perfect for all levels of use. Nuyarn takes the renowned properties of merino and has been scientifically proven to amplify them across the board.
Banana
Nuyarn’s ultimate blend for lightness
Sustainably sourced, renewable and 100% natural, the combination of Nuyarn, merino and banana fibre produces a soft, lightweight fabric with a linen-like texture. It has increased UV protection that is perfect for outdoor pursuits, as well as a natural lustre, durability and moisture-wicking abilities.
Mohair
Nuyarn’s ultimate blend for antibacterial properties
Mohair is well-known for its impressive lustre and its antibacterial purposes. Nuyarn amplifies mohair’s innate moisture and temperature-control abilities to produce a fabric that also has strength and stretch. Nuyarn mohair is regularly used for medical-assisting garments.
