UNIFI Inc.
UNIFI Inc., maker of REPREVE recycled yarns, has introduced Luxel, a new yarn technology designed to replicate the natural look and feel of linen while delivering enhanced performance and sustainability features.
Luxel is produced using REPREVE recycled polyester yarn, including 30 percent REPREVE Takeback content. The Takeback program incorporates textile waste into new fibers, supporting textile-to-textile recycling and reinforcing the company’s circularity strategy.
This innovative yarn combines aesthetic appeal with functional benefits, and offers moisture-wicking, wrinkle resistance and odor control. These performance attributes are engineered directly into the yarn, enabling use across a wide range of fabric constructions.
According to Eddie Ingle, CEO of Unifi, Luxel was developed to provide designers and manufacturers with a yarn that delivers the premium tactile qualities of linen while improving durability, ease of care and sustainability performance. By combining recycled inputs with engineered functionality, the company aims to help brands meet consumer demand for materials that balance comfort, style and environmental responsibility.
