The shift towards casual and laid back styles is more than a passing trend. In recent years, we’ve been seeing an uptick in demand, with many consumers opting for comfortable and easy-care fabrics that retain their bright colors over time.

Cotton and polyester cotton knits are often popular choices to meet this demand. Cotton combines comfort and style, while polyester cotton offers a powerful blend of both fibers and a balanced combination of durability, comfort, and affordability. But shape stability, process reliability and high resource consumption are common challenges faced when processing these fiber types.
