Introducing the latest evolution of the sustainable material made from 100 per cent regenerated nylon, Aquafil Group has launched the Econyl Bespoke collection.
The collection features a range of sustainable yarns designed to bring natural-inspired textures to both solution-dyed and dyed regenerated nylon 6 yarns. The yarns included in this collection are suitable for various rug constructions including handmade and machine-made, tufted and woven rugs, as well as residential and commercial wall-to-wall carpets.
Designed to meet the high performance standards required in contract, hospitality, and residential spaces, the Econyl Bespoke collection offers three distinct finishes including Econyl ReLana, a 2-ply dyed twist yarn that mimics the classic look and feel of wool; Econyl ReSeta, a 2-ply dyed twist yarn that offers the softness and sheen of silk, available in both bright and dull finishes, and Econyl Terra, a high-count, air-entangled, solution-dyed yarn known for its durability, featuring a curated collection of unique colors. This finish serves as a resilient alternative to natural raw fibers.
These yarns offer key benefits like inherent stain resistance, colorfastness against light and chemicals, and efficiency in tufting and weaving processes.
Giulio Bonazzi, Chairman and CEO, Aquafil Group, says, the group looks forward to seeing the beautiful rugs and carpets being created with this new circular yarn.
Derived from both pre-and post-consumer nylon waste, Econyl nylon is not only 100 per cent recycled but also infinitely regenerable. The yarn is certified traceable and meets high environmental standards with OekoTex and Cradle to Cradle certifications. Additionally, Econyl contributes to sustainability benchmarks such as LEED v4, BREEAM, and WELL, making it a preferred choice for eco-conscious design.
