Biella Yarn launches Collection “Reimagined” for Spring/Summer 2027 with fresh approach to fibre design

New yarn blends and expressive colours for modern summer knitwear

Biella Yarn, the flat knitting brand of Suedwolle Group, introduces its Spring/Summer 2027 collection “Reimagined” featuring refined yarn blends and advanced spinning technologies designed for contemporary summer knitwear. Under the motto “And the story goes on…”, Biella Yarn continues to push the boundaries of responsible yarn development, offering versatile materials that elevate modern craftsmanship.

New this season is GM Morwell Nm 2/30 and 2/48 (60% Cotton, 40% Merino Wool Extrafine TEC), an intimate blend of wool and cotton from the Gammaspun range. This combination of fibres delivers the durability and dry touch of cotton alongside the softness and elasticity of wool. Natural tonal contrasts create subtle mélange effects, adding depth and sophistication to garments.

The new spinning technology Gammaspun enables the combination of cellulosic fibres with 20–50% Merino wool, resulting in fabrics with clean structure, smooth surfaces, and improved pilling performance.

Also introduced is Alisei Nm 2/30 and Nm 2/48 (80% Merino Wool Extrafine, 20% GRS recycled wool) from the Karma-Yarns family. Marking Suedwolle Group’s latest step in promoting circularity, Karma transforms pre-production waste into new yarns – keeping materials in use and reducing reliance on virgin resources.

The range of natural blends around Merino Wool and Linen had been broaden by adding new yarns with natural fibres Ramie Avalon Nm 2/48 (50% Merino Wool Extrafine, Total Easy Care; 30% Ramie, 20% Linen) and Avalon Nm 2/60 (50% Merino Wool Superfine, Super 120'S, Total Easy Care, 30% Ramie, 20% Linen). This particular blend makes knitwear light and shaped, while retaining the comfort and softness of wool.

Completing the collection is Sesel Nm 2/60 (70% Extrafine Merino Wool with anti-shrinkage treatment, 30% Alginate), a blend of wool and alginate. Derived from seaweed, alginate is a bio-based fibre that enhances cooling and provides a smooth hand-feel.

The Spring/Summer 2027 colour cards feature bold, dynamic shades balanced with refined neutrals. Vibrant pinks, saturated reds, and burnt orange tones harmonise with contemporary whites, beige, and greys – creating a fresh palette for the season.

In partnership with MRC Knitwear Research Studio and the luxury knitwear brand Ami Amalia, Suedwolle Group showcases the versatility of these yarns through various designs: crochet-like dresses and capes, airy net textures, and elegant drapes.

Yarns and technologies in symbiosis: Biella Yarn presents Fall/Winter 2027/2028 collection “New Romance_”

Biella Yarn, the flat knitting brand of Suedwolle Group, launches new Fall/Winter 2027/2028 collection, inspired by the symbiosis of yarns and technologies – elements that blend, adapt and evolve together, forming something new without losing their origin.

The collection is further brought to life through design collaborations, featuring selected yarns used in different design approaches.

"We will become a recycling powerhouse"

The textile industry is now in its fourth consecutive year of crisis, while automation, artificial intelligence and recycling are reshaping the rules of the game. In this interview, Rieter CEO Thomas Oetterli discusses the first signs of a market recovery, reflects on his first three years at the helm of the company, explains the integration of Barmag, outlines Rieter’s vision of the fully automated spinning mill and highlights the strategic importance of recycling. In doing so, he explains why the new Rieter Group aims to play a leading role in transforming the textile value chain into a circular economy.

Rieter sees Barmag integration on track as orders and sales rise

The first half of 2026 was shaped by the successful completion of the largest acquisition in Rieter’s history. The Man-Made Fiber Division enables entry into the growth segment of man-made fibers and sustainably strengthens Rieter’s market position in the Asia region. The expanded Group is now the world’s leading system supplier for the processing of natural and man-made fibers. In the first half of the year, initial cost savings in material costs and operating expenses have already been realized. The targeted synergies are expected to amount to at least CHF 20 million by the end of the 2028 financial year. Due to the completion of the acquisition on February 2, 2026, the first half of the year for the Man-Made Fiber Division only amounts to five months.
