Spinexpo China opened doors today and will be on till September 5, 2019. This is a global flagship event for spinners and knitwear manufacturers. The event is aimed at knitwear brands, flat-bed and circular knit manufacturers, weavers, sporting goods manufacturers, hand-knitting wool distributors and all yarn and knitwear users. Exhibitors showcase technically innovative collections each season, thanks to a partnership between machine manufacturers, spinners and knitwear and sporting goods manufacturers. This edition is exploring the topic of disruption: recycling colors and stitches. The focus is on a mix of different styles inspired by a modern-day rural nomadism, a hodgepodge of combinations, multicultural details and different forms, a desire for daily protection that allows us to live our day-to-day lives. Paper yarns, linen yarns, heather yarns, natural fibers are combined with synthetic fibers. The combinations merge to create a range of surface finishes, a selection of resolutely trans-seasonal products. Polyesters and nylons become the foundation for new blends with other fibers.
Among other trends, soft wools and cashmeres together with thermoplastic settings and 3D finishing create textures, which blend comfort and durability. Padding and blistered patterns are knitted with finishes that have been developed to be used as outerwear, alluding to the idea of fabrics for survival and protection. Colors are bold, with intense depth and intrigue.
