Bamboo: It takes on a lustrous appearance when dyed, refracts ultraviolet rays, has anti-bacterial properties, and does not cause allergies on the skin due to the bamboo kun substance it contains. Thanks to its excellent moisture absorption, it provides air permeability, helping the body breathe, and is preferred for both summer and winter months. It is not very resistant to wear. It can cause pilling due to some bamboo fibers. However, socks and other textile products with a high bamboo content are excellent in terms of health and comfort when they come into contact with your skin.

Modal Yarn

Modal yarns are a type of completely natural fiber produced from beechwood, with high wet and dry strength. It is quite resistant to wear. Its moisture transfer property is very good. Fabrics knitted or woven with modal yarn have a soft hand. Thanks to its very good moisture transfer property, it offers wearing comfort even in hot, humid climates.

Mercerized Yarn

Mercerized yarn is the singed and straightened form of combed cotton yarn. At first glance, mercerized yarn has a nylon-like appearance. However, this appearance is due to the yarn being hard and smooth. The pilling rate is much lower compared to other yarns.

Viscose Yarn

Viscose yarns are produced from Eucalyptus, willow, and poplar trees. Like cotton, it consists of cellulose. Due to its high moisture absorption, it is very suitable for dyeing and printing processes. Therefore, it makes colors appear brighter. Viscose fibers are often used in blends with other fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, Lyocell Tencel, Modal, and wool.
