HERZOGENAURACH - Sportswear giant Adidas has developed a new range of stretch performance garments which it says uses an innovative knit or woven construction to dispense with the need for elastane fibres.
Branded as Twistknit and Twistweave, Adidas says that it manipulates yarns at the fibre level, after which it goes through a further manufacturing stage where the yarns are coiled – or ‘twisted’ – to then act like micro-springs within the fabric structure before being used in garments.
