material.1 by MIAVKA

The most exciting new yarn we have held in our hands in a long time. What makes it special is the fiber blended into the yarn. material.1 is made with Brewed Protein™️ Fiber, a new generation of protein fibers from the Japanese biotech company Spiber. Instead of relying exclusively on traditional animal-based or synthetic fibers, Brewed Protein™️ materials are created using a fermentation process based on plant-based raw materials (sugarcane).

It sounds a bit futuristic and feels that way too. This yarn is a blend of Brewed Protein™️ Fiber and the finest 17.5 µm merino wool. It is as soft as cashmere, yet has a good grip and is exceptionally lightweight.

We are therefore particularly excited to exclusively introduce MIAVKA to you in Berlin and are very eager to see what you knit with it.

A new fiber. New possibilities. And definitely a yarn that you should experience for yourself.
