Summer is coming, and as always, a t-shirt is a wardrobe must-have. Yes, we're talking about slub T-shirts.
What is slub fabric?
For some time now, several truly unique materials have been available on the market, used to create more fashionable and glamorous products.
One of these is undoubtedly slub fabric, now a true symbol of summer.
This yarn was introduced to the Italian promotional market by B&C with its now well-known "Too Chic" models.
These products have created a market trend exploited by various Italian companies, which have in turn shifted their production to this type of yarn: one of the most famous brands, which has grown thanks to slub cotton, is certainly Happiness .
Below are some slub cotton T-shirts for men, women and children:
But let's get back to the slub fabric. Known worldwide as "slub," in Italy it's commonly called "fiammato" (flamed) due to its irregular weave that almost seems to be embedded with tiny slubs of yarn.
The irregularity is a desired feature: it is obtained during the yarn weaving process and can be more or less pronounced, depending on the customer's requests.
The "slub" yarn is obtained by knitting the yarn and creating sections of variable thickness at a specific rate, in order to create the desired effect.
While once seen merely as a defect, slub yarn is now intentionally created to give the fabric more personality.
Critical issues of flamed fabric
It is important to note, however, that "Slub" spinning significantly reduces the life of the fabric since the yarn will inevitably have weak points in the areas of thinner thread.
It is possible to create both synthetic and organic fabrics with the peculiarity of the "slub" effect.
This type of fabric is now also used by large chains that have made it their flagship, developing it in all its forms, including sweatshirt fabrics, technical fabrics, etc.
