One yarn. Three layers of performance

Socks Yarn: Graphene Functional Yarn

Socks Yarn is a graphene-functional yarn direction developed for performance sock applications, combining antibacterial, thermal and durability-related functions within a single yarn system. Two blended-yarn specifications support different product constructions

01Key features

What it does.

01
Antibacterial Performance

Graphene-integrated yarn provides antibacterial functionality to support freshness in close-to-skin use

02
Thermal Performance

Graphene-related thermal behaviour supports cold-weather and all-day comfort directions

03
Durability Direction

Designed for high-friction sock applications, with a durability-focused fibre construction.

02How it works

The mechanism.

Graphene is built into the blended yarn rather than added only as a post-knit surface treatment. The yarn system combines antibacterial functionality, thermal behaviour and a durability-focused fibre direction for high-friction, close-to-skin sock applications
