As raw material, we use the best selection of European long fiber, Hackled tow and somethimes some best grades rescuthed tows. The color is brought by the retting process: Dew retting (medium grey to anthracite) and water retting (yellow/gold). For particular uses there is possibility of cutting at requested length.

Two of them can be considered as exceptional premium qualities used for “rich blends” or blends with noble fibers like silk, cashmere...
