At every single feeding point microfiber (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spandex\">Elastane<\/a>) is added to the cotton thread.

It is soft but also resistent. These charateristics make it ideal for the production of <a href=\"\/en\/prodotto\/boxer-briefs-stretch-cotton-765\/\">boxers<\/a> and briefs. Furthermore this fabric is fresh and ensures a very good fit. Due to its jersey structure, it has a natural tendency to twist, especially when low quality cotton is used. This twisting is caused when the thread tension and the machine rotation tension are not perfectly aligned.<\/p>\n<h2>How we avoid twisting in 4 stages<\/h2>\n<p>In order to eliminate this problem, here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viscontidiangera.com\/en\/about-us-visconti-di-angera\/\">Visconti di Angera<\/a> we use only the<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>highest quality cotton <\/em><\/span>in which it is possible to choose the correct tension for our machines. This tension balance together with the addition of small percentage of Elastane, stabilises the fabric. Additionally to reduce this problem yet more , we use a<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>30 feeding point machine<\/em> <\/span>which has a low production capacity compared to the modern 90 feeding point machines. The lower the number of feeding points the slower the production rate but the higher the quality of the fabric. On top of this we add another stabilising treatment during the <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viscontidiangera.com\/en\/2019\/03\/30\/dyeing-of-thread\/\"><em>dying process<\/em><\/a>,<\/span> the fourth and final stage to guarantee the stability of the fabric, is a<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> long<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">period<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">of rest<\/span><\/em> <\/span>before cutting.<\/p>\n<h2>Final result<\/h2>\n<p>The final resulting fabric is perfect to produce very fresh and durable garments with a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<h2>Our products made in elasticated cotton<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viscontidiangera.com\/en\/prodotto\/boxers-stretch-cotton-765\/\">Boxer <\/a><\/p>\n<h2>More info<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jersey_(fabric)\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aElasticated cotton Elasticated cotton is a fairly new fabric, made possible by the invention of elasticated microfibers.
