Zwickauer Kammgarn GmbH manufactures yarns for jersey fabrics and hosiery. It recently invested 25 million DM in a new dyeing facility. Zwickauer specializes in yarns manufactured from wool; polyester, acrylic, viscose, and nylon blends; and such luxury fibers as cashmere and silk. It dyes elastic knitting yarns before twisting so elasticity is conferred after knitting during the steaming process. Zwickauer offers several wool/Tencel, acetate/viscose, and wool/Viscose yarns in such fine counts as Nm 60/2 and Nm Z 23. It follows ecological criteria and AKN guidelines in its manufacturing processes and is ISO 9002 certified. Zwickauer's color groups for the autumn/winter 1998-1999 season range from soft pastels and strong gemstone colors to natrual autumn shades. 1 refs.
