Sudwolle Group’s Biella Yarn introduces its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Imperfect Elegance, inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending with gold. Just as Kintsugi turns flaws into beauty, this collection blends fibres into harmonious, refined yarns.
A highlight of the launch is a unique dress showcased at PittiFilati, created in collaboration with MRC Knitwear Research and AdornaRicami di Laura Annovi. The piece features knitted swatches joined with fine metallic yarn, echoing Kintsugi’s golden seams.
The collection offers premium Merino wool yarns, including Brisbane Nm 2/60 and OTW Opal Nm 2/60 (100 per cent Merino wool Superfine, 17.5 mic, anti-shrinkage). Luxurious blends include Katherine Nm 2/48 (Merino and silk) and Microfiamma Seta NM 3700. Innovative PBT blends like Beacon Nm 44/2 and Barrier Nm 54/2 add durability while maintaining elegance.
A refreshed colour palette draws from summer sunsets, featuring intense pinks, deep reds, warm yellows, and rich oranges. Cool aquatic greens, frost blues, and apple greens add contrast, while warm browns and classic black offer timeless versatility. Biella Yarn also reintroduces Linus Nm 2/50, a Merino-linen blend, available in vibrant and neutral shades.
Minimalist designs crafted with these yarns include summer tops, dresses, polo shirts, and trousers, presented at PittiFilati in Florence. These lightweight creations showcase Merino wool’s elegance for warm-weather wear, inviting designers to embrace transformation through artistry and innovation.
