MAJOR world producer of nylon 6.6 yarns Nilit announced that its heather effect yarn Duelle has been adopted by Steps, that describes itself as the world’s largest producer of invisible socks. Duelle, which is made by spinning together Nilit Pastelle and Nilit Colorwise yarns allows the production of heather effects with a single-step dyeing process. Steps is based in the Netherlands and operates facilities in Poland and Cambodia to produce its seamless and non-slip fit foot socks.
Once widely used for intimate apparel, heather effect fabrics lost their appeal for some years but there have been signs of a revival in demand during recent months.
