The World’s First Performance Wool, Nuyarn®

Nuyarn® transcends the limits of traditional spinning methods, revitalizing the natural performance characteristics of wool fibers. This innovative spinning technology produces wool products that leverage the advantages of natural fibers to outperform synthetics. 

Traditional spinning compresses wool fibers, creating tension and loops that inhibit their natural movement, potentially causing skin irritation when worn. In contrast, Nuyarn® technology spins wool fibers alongside high-performance filaments without twisting, creating two-ply yarns with enhanced volume and breathability. This maximizes wool’s inherent moisture-wicking and thermoregulating properties, rivaling or surpassing modern synthetic fibers. Nuyarn® fully harnesses wool’s natural capabilities, providing wearers with unmatched comfort and functionality. 

Nuyarn® isn’t ring-spun or core-spun; it’s a twist-free spinning technology.

1. 35% More Volume and Breathability 
The twist-free spinning technology generates much more loft and breathability within wool fibers. In nature, this leads to natural thermoregulation, breathability, air resistance, and the ability to absorb and manage sweat. 

2. 5x Faster Drying 
Nuyarn® Merino has superior moisture-wicking abilities compared to synthetic materials. Sweat is quickly drawn away from the skin and absorbed into the fabric, with the structure of Nuyarn® Merino initiating the drying process before it even reaches the fabric surface. This allows for more efficient thermoregulation, enabling better performance focus. 

3. 85% More Elasticity 
Traditional spinning compresses wool fibers, requiring elastane or spandex for elasticity. This adds weight, degrades over time, and does little for moisture management. Nuyarn®'s twist-free technology creates fibers that move with the body and return to 100% of their original shape, providing remarkable stretch without synthetic materials. This delivers excellent pressure comfort throughout the garment's life. 

4. 35% More Thermal Retention 
The increased volume and natural air pockets within the fiber structure serve as an effective thermal insulator. Increased loft and thermoregulation lead to lighter, higher-performing garments compared to heavier, traditionally spun merino wool. 

5. 53% More Air Resistance 
Nuyarn® retains the natural air pockets within the fiber structure, creating a natural barrier to wind. This added loft and breathability increase air resistance without hindering moisture-wicking capabilities. 

6. 50% Greater Burst Strength 
Nuyarn®'s twist-free technology allows for the use of longer fibers without creating tension, which reduces the likelihood of breakage. Compared to traditional merino wool, Nuyarn® delivers 50% greater tensile strength, resulting in a more consistent appearance and fewer holes from abrasion or impact. 

7. 8.8x More Durable 
Nuyarn® Merino is significantly more durable than traditionally spun merino wool. In the industry-standard Martindale abrasion test, Nuyarn® Merino withstood 123,333 rubs before showing signs of breakdown, while traditionally spun merino wool lasts between 14,000 and 18,000 rubs. This means one Nuyarn® Merino garment can last as long as nine traditionally spun merino garments. 

8. 120% Stronger Seams 
Nuyarn® Merino seams withstand up to 8kg of force, compared to 3kg for traditionally spun merino. In all cases, Nuyarn® Merino seams were stronger in both course and wale directions. Garments made with Nuyarn® Merino are less likely to tear or break at the seams when subjected to abrasion.
