Fashion and function from domestic suppliers
In response to the recent buying trend observed at past editions of Yarn Expo, suppliers will display fashion-forward and functional yarns. To ensure end pieces that stand out from the crowd, with fancy yarn details or added functional values, fashion brands are sourcing directly from yarn & fibre suppliers.
Fashionable products on offer from domestic brands include fancy yarn, quality wool yarn and eco-friendly linen. Leading Chinese exhibitors include Hongqi, Lida, Zhongxin Resources, Lugang, Haoye and Dalang Wool Yarns. Domestic suppliers will be categorised into product zones, making it easier for visitors to navigate the comprehensive product range in the hall.
