super tweed

SUPER TWEED is one of Fonty's yarns. Composed of 95% fine wool, which provides softness and elasticity, and 5% of Mohair fiber which gives a shiny and lofty appearance, SUPER TWEED is a carded yarn with an extraordinary touch.

In the family of tweeds (yarns with small voluntary random color spots) SUPER TWEED is unique on the market, because it is the only one made from 100% natural fibers. Indeed, its colored buttons are exclusively made of dyed natural wool, unlike the others. The main fiber is dyed in fluff, before being transformed into yarn, and buttons are added on an already pigmented material. This process of dyeing raw material rather than pigmentation of a yarn also makes it possible to create for each dyeing pass 3 subtly degraded colors, by diluting the dyed floss with unbleached floss. This deliberate choice of a more restrictive manufacturing method makes it possible to reduce dyeing operations, and therefore their ecological impact,
