A new prototype collection developed by The Woolmark Company with circular knitting machine manufacturer Santoni and designed by innovative knitwear designers at Studio Eva x Carola aims to illustrate the full potential of Merino wool used in technical seamless performance apparel.

Created in a vibrant colour palette, Woolmark x Santoni x Südwolle collection includes leggings, crop tops and bras, racer-back tank top and a T-shirt, all designed with performance in mind.

It introduces Merino wool to Santoni’s state-of-the-art circular seamless knitting machines. Designated the ‘original performance fiber’, Merino wool is soft next to skin, breathable, naturally elastic and odor resistant. In addition, the eco-credentials of the fibre - namely being 100 per cent natural, renewable and biodegradable - align with yoga’s connection with both nature and mindfulness, it adds.

Combining wool with Santoni Shanghai’s technology means we can create a unique touch experience with fine gauges, no seams and mindful engineering
