2/28 nm 80% Recycled Polyester 20% Wool

Understanding 2/28 nm (Yarn Count & Structure)
The term “2/28 nm” refers to the yarn count and structure. The “2” means that the yarn is plied, meaning two strands are twisted together, which enhances strength, durability, and smoothness. The “28 nm” represents the metric yarn count, indicating that 28,000 meters of single-ply yarn weigh 1 kilogram. This classification signifies a fine, lightweight yarn that is well-suited for high-quality garments, offering both softness and durability.

Material Composition & Benefits
This yarn blend consists of 80% recycled polyester and 20% wool, combining the advantages of both fibers:

Recycled Polyester (80%): Sourced from post-consumer plastic waste, such as PET bottles, recycled polyester is an eco-friendly alternative to virgin polyester. It retains key properties like strength, wrinkle resistance, and durability, while also reducing environmental impact. It helps in moisture management, making the fabric breathable and quick-drying.

Wool (20%): Adds natural softness, warmth, and elasticity to the yarn. Wool is known for its insulating properties, helping to regulate body temperature while offering a comfortable feel. The presence of wool in the blend enhances the luxurious texture and breathability of the fabric.

Applications & Sustainability
A 2/28 nm 80% recycled polyester 20% wool blend is commonly used in sustainable fashion, producing lightweight yet warm and durable garments such as sweaters, knitwear, and outerwear. This blend aligns with eco-conscious fashion trends, as recycled polyester reduces plastic waste, and wool is a renewable natural fiber. The combination ensures that garments remain long-lasting, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to maintain, making it a responsible choice for sustainable and high-performance textiles.
