For the new Spring-Summer 2025 season, Biella, Italy based yarn spinner Servizi e Seta is expanding its offer with a wide choice of yarns featuring sophisticated texture, spanning pure silk and alluring cotton, cashmere and viscose blends.

The outcome of long-standing know-how, which unites traditional expertise and ongoing innovation, the new collection overcomes spatial and temporal clichés to encourage limitless creativity. Research continues in the world of crepe yarns, embodying a renewed vision to enhance the distinctive traits of silks by endowing classics, such as Shappe and Opacum silks, with a highly contemporary vision.

This is achieved via a unique twisting process, which draws out the lightness and softness of both 100% silk and blends with other raw materials. Hence, Shacrepe silk becomes snappy while retaining its pleasant, fluid feel, the Biellese company says.  Also available in GOTS-certified Bioberry Crepe.

By increasing the crepe content of the raw material, Tussah Anandita silk acquires a rougher feel and more natural appearance with the typical features of rustic silks. Instead, Opacum silk, in the Crespum version with 100% GRS recycled silk certification, becomes the must-have yarn of next spring-summer. Exceptionally versatile, this seasonless yarn finds its natural application in spring and summer, the company says. The snappy, cool and contemporary texture, combined with machine-wash resistance, makes it a milestone in this collection. “Versatile with unique lightness and performance, it becomes an essential in a man's wardrobe, as polo shirts, t-shirts and traditional sweaters, says Servizi e Seta.

For elegant and sophisticated clothing designed with the practical flair of sportswear and casual wear, Servizi e Seta offers a wide selection of silk and cotton compositions. Alaska yarn is a highlight. The most casual version is proposed here, made of organic cotton and OCS certified. It is highly versatile for unisex items and for the extensive choice of solid and melanges hues. Its finest version is ideal for light, fresh, snappy and luxurious garments.

Maine Crepe and Vermont Crepe are combed GOTS cotton and silk, and combed OCS silk and cotton. Two similar yarns with entirely different textures due to the difference in silk content - the former is more suave and saggy for its higher silk percentage, while the latter is more sporty and dynamic with a natural matt finish featuring a robust texture.

The feminine touch is ensured by the new crepe versions of the classics Mustard and Rosemary, with high percentages of FSC-certified Lenzing viscose.

Mustard in the viscose-silk variant, proposed in both fine and more important but always loose and fresh counts, is designed for knitwear to be worn all day - from morning to evening. While Rosemary is its spring-like version with a small percentage of wool, treated to be non-shrink, impalpable, elegant and bright.

The SS 25 collection of Servizi e Seta also emphasises linen and its blends with natural fibres. Crepolino is the new frontier of linen as it is available in several degrees of fineness to be worn throughout summer, whether with solid hues for elegant garments or melange for rustic apparel. Crepe processing of linen conveys unrivalled wearability and a pleasant feel, maintaining thermo-regulating features with the coolness of the new yarn’s structure, which is not slippery.

Raipur blended with cotton and Kerala with viscose expand the range of options for using linen with a looser and cooler texture that is ideal for looser feminine fits.

The Biella-based company does not forget its continuous search for sustainability, which is reflected in the various certifications obtained for all the yarns presented, thus confirming its commitment to offer high quality products while ensuring responsibility towards the environment.

Besides the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard, European Flax, OCS - Organic Content Standard, GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard, GRS - Global Recycled Standard, RWS - Responsible Wool Standard, FSC - Forest Stewardship Council and SFA Sustainability Farm Assessment certifications, there is ongoing research to ensure traceability on the platforms 4 Sustainability and through the Association Tessile e Salute, with the new ETHIC-ET version.
