When it was time to create the foundation for ARTILECT, we needed innovation partners that shared our high level of desire to push technology. Partners that had a relentless drive to do something new, something better and shared the same care we have for our environment. Even more than this – we needed something revolutionary... and proven. Our journey led us to Nuyarn®, an innovative merino engineering company who are pushing the limits of what fabrics can do.
ARTILECT is committed to responsibly sourced wool from suppliers and farmers who are devoted to animal health and welfare, using only responsibly sourced, certified non-mulesed Australian merino wool.
High Performance Merino
We all know merino wool’s natural properties. Its multi-climate abilities, breathability, moisture absorption and odor reduction are well known, but traditional processes of spinning and tightly twisting the fibers inhibits the full power of its natural benefits. Traditional merino fabrics are prone to forming holes and losing shape, becoming heavy when wet and being significantly slower to dry than synthetic performance fabrics. Nuyarn technology is different.
The world's first performance wool
Unlike traditional core spun or ring spun methods, the patented twist free process of Nuyarn drafts merino fibers along a high-performance filament which amplifies the fiber’s natural properties. With the benefit of merino wool next to skin and synthetic on the inside, the performance of Nuyarn fabrics is unparalleled by any other fabric, natural or synthetic.
Less wet, more dry. Unbeatable moisture management to keep you at peak performance.
As proven by New Zealand's AG Research, ARTILECT products featuring Nuyarn show durability is substantially increased compared to the lifespan of traditional ring spun merino wool fabrics.
With no elastane. Traditional merino fabrics are prone to forming holes & losing shape. Nuyarn technology is different. Unlike traditional core spun or ring spun methods, the patented twist free process of nuyarn drafts merino fibers along a high-performance filament which amplifies the fiber's natural properties.
Go farther, faster.
Nature's temperature control, but better. Traditional processes of spinning and tightly twisting merino wool fibers inhibits the full power of its natural benefits. Nuyarn technology enhances the natural temperature regulating abilities of merino wool.
Merino wool is 100% renewable and biodegradable, and also uses significantly less energy and water in its production. Compared to synthetic options, natural merino wool also includes the added benefit of being free of the microplastics that have become an increasing threat to the health of our planet and its oceans.
Merino wool is naturally odor resistant. Lucky for you and those around you when you're perspiring. Stay fresher for longer.
*AG Research, an International Accreditation testing center in New Zealand put Nuyarn to the test. The science stacks up – Nuyarn vastly improves performance, and you feel it. It’s warmer, tougher, lighter, drier, stretchier, longer lasting, has a lower carbon footprint and reduces chemical processes. Because the benefits are part of the spinning process and not a chemical treatment, the performance lasts for the life of the product.
