What’s New What’s New What’s Ne What’s New

T hey are normal patterns, but never typical! 1. Front and back side are the same pattern and have soft hand feel as well. 2. Different yarn deniers on front and back sides create different patterns and structures so both sides can be used. 3. Transparency and cushioning are created by adding mono yarn into the

middle layer, with both sides having open holed pattern. 4. Irregularities in a grid pattern give a cheerful feeling. 5. Shiny dots are seen inside matte and regular patterns.

Circular Knit JQD What’s New

M aterials made with YY’s specialized technology! 1. Used spandex to create textural patterns that look like embossed textile. 2. The terry structure was expressed differently depending on each pattern. 3. In addition, products are improved in terms of physical properties by mixing Tencel and recycled polyester and are receiving a positive response. 4. Using biodegradable yarn, YY developed lightweight knits that retain good stretch and recovery. Recently, YY has continuously tried new concepts of circular knits by combining various yarns and these have most definitely upgraded our materials in terms of aesthetics and physical properties.

Biodegradable materials

Sustainability B eyond Eco-friendly!

These biodegradable materials are made with highly heat-resistant biodegradable polyester yarn that can be biodegradable by bio-polymer. Biodegradable polyester has excellent durability/heat resistance and excellent biodegradability rate through copolymerized polyester modification. These materials are hydrolyzed and decomposed by microorganisms, completely decomposed into Biomass, CO2, and water. Biodegradable fiber has similar performance in terms of alkali loss, colorfastness, and dry heat Resistance (no problem when treated below 200 degrees) as same as normal Polyester.

Hemp, Tencel

Sustainability

H emp fibers that are collected from the stem of the mulberry family have many advantages. It has excellent durability and ventilation, as well as antibacterial and deodorizing functions. Unlike cotton, hemp has excellent heat transfer power, easy dyeing, resistant to mold, and has UV blocking function and natural antibacterial properties. One of the biggest advantages of hemp fibers is their potential. Customer’s demand for hemp fibers is growing because the natural fibers are harmless to the human body and the environment during cultivation and production. In addition to Hemp, YY is developing various eco-friendly materials such as Tencel.
