“In addition to the commercially available yarns, Stoll also worked with yarns that are unusual for the knitting industry – representing a solution to a major challenge of flat knitting technology,” the company says. “These yarns include used plastic bags, silver foil, and jute bags that have been utilised to knit luxury products – the inspiration here being the concept of up-cycling.”

Technical textiles

In the area of technical textiles, Stoll showcases the steady market growth of technical applications and implementations. Stoll will present various demanding technical applications on the CMS 530 ki W in the gauge E7.2. Other technical applications to be presented by Stoll at the exhibition will include TT home, TT med, TT mobility, TT e-tex and TT sport.
