cotton4future - the new cotton yarn, with which Schachenmayr wants to take a step towards a better environment.
cotton4future is made of recycled cotton and recycled polyester fibers. Why is that so great?
The recycled cotton is gained from left-overs in the textile production, but they have the same high quality as new raw material, and the polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles that are decomposed into single granules and spun into a new thread. That‘s fantastic, isn‘t it?
This results in a yarn that has a soft but cool touch and is also quick to knit thanks to needle size 4,5 mm.
cotton4future is perfect for light summer tops that have potential to become your favourite piece. So sustainable!
