Albany, NY; July 31, 2008 – PrimaLoft®- Insulation Technology™ is introducing PrimaLoft Cotton Blend, a new yarn for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy the feel of cotton and the performance of PrimaLoft fibers.
PrimaLoft Cotton Blend yarn is an optimal blend of 45% PrimaLoft fibers and 55% cotton, which combines the renowned technical properties of PrimaLoft fibers with the durability of cotton. The yarn offers high abrasion resistance, dries faster and absorbs less moisture than standard cotton, making it an ideal choice for outdoor garments such as socks, hats, sweaters, linings and base layers.
“Since last year’s introduction of PrimaLoft yarn, we’ve been developing new yarns with different blends,” says Ronald L. Comer, Director of International Sales, PrimaLoft Yarn Division. “By blending PrimaLoft fibers with cotton, we were able to create a yarn that provides softness, comfort, durability and a faster drying rate than an all cotton product.”
The PrimaLoft Cotton Blend yarn is also easy to care for. It is machine washable and dryable, and dries faster than 100% cotton.
PrimaLoft® – Insulation Technology™, is manufactured by and a registered trademark of Albany International Corp. It is featured worldwide in leading brands of outerwear, sleeping bags, gloves, footwear, socks, and luxury bedding. PrimaLoft’s manufacturing facilities are located in the US, Europe and China.
