NeWul? MC# 781605
By: Janisset SAS (JTTI)
A synthetic alternative to wool made from 100% nylon.
Unlike wool, which requires 60 L (15.85 gals) of water to color 1 kg (2.2 lb) of material, NeWul? uses no toxic dyes or water during its production. The nylon yarn is extruded and then transformed using a proprietary process that creates a product that feels like wool but with the physical advantages of nylon. Color, weave pattern and dimensions are all customizable and applications include fashion accessories, shoulder straps, handles, and belts.
