Spiber announces partnerships with Manifattura Sesia and Achille Pinto

Spiber, Yamagata, Japan, producer of Brewed Protein™ fiber, has announced partnerships with two Italian textile mills, Manifattura Sesia S.r.l. and Achille Pinto S.p.A.

“We are very proud of the results achieved with the development of our new yarn: T-Gen, short for Technological Generation Yarns. …We have developed three variations of T-Gen to expand its versatility and application potential. The combination of Spiber’s Brewed Protein fiber with a selection of Superfine Merino Wool certified RWS and Nativa makes these yarns a cutting-edge example in our search for sustainable textile solutions,” says Chiara Serra, creative director at Manifattura Sesia.

The partnership with Manifattura Sesia has resulted in the development of innovative yarn blends containing 30% Brewed Protein fiber combined with wool. In addition, the partnership with Achille Pinto has resulted in new collections containing 15–30% Brewed Protein fiber blended with silk and wool.
