Survey of the European yarn fairs for autumn/winter 2015/16

24 pages, published in Issue 171, October 2014   Report price: Euro 395.00; US$ 520.00

The latest update in this series of reports summarises the trends which were on show at the European yarn fairs for the autumn/winter 2015/16 season. The author of the report visited Filo, Pitti Immagine Filati and Expofil where she interviewed exhibitors and found out first-hand which trends were proving to be the most popular. The atmosphere at the fairs was brisk and positive, although the European industry as a whole continues to have problems. Cashmere remains the most popular fibre for autumn/winter 2015/16 and knitwear continues to be a strong fashion item. The use of alpaca fibre is gaining in popularity and, as a result, some companies have expanded their production operations. Exhibitors showed predominantly light colours with natural shades, and many spinners are incorporating blue into their collections.
