With “BÉBÉ Soft Wash” (21/22 micron, mulesing-free fine merino wool from South America), we have successfully developed a super soft baby yarn with a chlorine-free Superwash treatment. Pure wool, machine washable, has undergone a chemical process that prevents felting. The interlocking of the wool fibres, which is typical for untreated wool, is generally reduced by a chemical change of the surface by means of chlorine and a coating with a synthetic resin. Thanks to the plasma treatment, the epichlorohydrin could be replaced by enzymes in the “BÉBÉ Soft Wash”. Plasma treated wool is less susceptible to damage during non-felt finishing and has increased tear strength, better dye adhesion.
The plasma process also means less pollution for the environment, as the wool thus treated also meets the requirements of the Woolmark company for the label "superwash", "machine washable" or "easy-care".
