Merino Wool With No Holes – Here’s Why

Nuyarn is a revolutionary spinning technology that unleashes the natural performance properties of merino, producing yarn for ultralight, durable, high-performance fabrics

Durability

The structure of Nuyarn Merino is much more durable compared to traditional spinning technology. In the industry standard Martindale abrasion test, Nuyarn Merino lasted to 123,333 rubs before the first sign of breakdown. Whereas traditionally spun merino lasts around 14,000-18,000 rubs before a hole appeared.

The Result

Nuyarn Merino is 8.8x more durable than traditionally spun merino. One Nuyarn Merino garment will last as long as nine traditionally spun merino garments.

50% Greater Burst Strength

Nuyarn twist-free technology can use longer fibres without creating tension. This lack of tension alongside the increased elasticity in the fibre structure leads to less opportunities for breakage. Compared to traditionally spun merino, Nuyarn Merino delivers 50% increased tensile strength, resulting in a more consistent appearance, less pilling and fewer holes in acres of impact or abrasion.

The Result

Apparel created with Nuyarn Merino has an increased defence against unexpected punctures or abrasion.

Nuyarn Spinning Technology creates an incredibly fine, 2 ply twist-free yarn that 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.
