Slideshow: Looks from the Seed of Joy Capsule
To help launch our latest fiber innovation, TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo color technology, Lenzing turned to our longtime collaborator Adriano Goldschmied.
Adriano has created one of the first commercial collections using our new technology, which infuses indigo color into the modal dope, or the liquid form of the material that is then spun into fibers. Rather than dyeing finished yarn, which uses significant water and harmful chemicals, dyeing the dope is far more resource and energy efficient.
Along with the sustainability attributes of TENCEL™ Modal with Indigo color technology, there are also design benefits. With reduced crocking, or color transfer, the material can be used in applications that have often been a challenge for indigo, such as sweater knits.
The collection was developed in collaboration with mills Blue Diamond and In The Loop, laundry Tonello and 3D knitting firm Shima Seiki.
