Fenc Loopflex Spandex Free Stretch Fabric

Fenc Loopflex

Fenc Loopflex is a spandex free stretch fabric developed for sports wear, leisure wear and underwear. The textile is a mono material made only of polyester, so textile to textile recycling becomes possible and waste is reduced. Production begins with thermoplastic polyester elastomer chips, which are turned into an elastic yarn through a solvent free melt extrusion process. The yarn is knitted with regular polyester filaments using pre programmed tensions, giving two to three times higher power stretch than spandex blends while balancing comfort and support.

Effect Of Paradox Textile Print Design

Effect Of Paradox

Effect Of Paradox is a textile print design created for fashion products. The pattern shows the glittering shapes of bioluminescent plankton on the sea, drawn as clear blue flowers in bloom. The motif was made with a graphic tablet, and overlapping layers give a mysterious underwater effect. One repeat measures 180 by 130 millimetres, and colour and scale can be adjusted. The pattern is printed on satin by digital textile printing and can be applied to blouses, dresses, scarves and bags. The intent is to share the beauty of recovered nature.
