Ananas is an ideal choice for spring and summer garments, as it is made entirely of natural fibres that remain breathable and cool in warm weather. The pineapple fibres are obtained from the leaves of pineapple plants, which are normally considered waste and are often burned. Instead, these fibres are now being processed sustainably, without the use of chemicals or bleach. Created using an enzyme and mechanical process, these give the yarn a slightly rustic look without making it scratchy.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Ananas is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
