Italian warp knitter M.I.T.I. has expanded its offering of 4-way stretch brushed-back knits thanks to the introduction of a new production process based on cutting-edge knitting equipments and finishing technologies. These new additions reinforce the company's position as a world-leading supplier in this market segment.

A specialist in 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits, M.I.T.I. is introducing two new fabric groups at the upcoming Performance Days show in November. One range offers 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits with a natural ultra opaque look. The other focuses on texture, offered in a variety of styles. They are the latest developments from the highly creative warp knitter known for its continuing investments in new machineries and technology.

A highly functional fabric group, M.I.T.I.'s 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits combine multiple performance properties including superior thermoregulation, top quality elasticity, excellent durability and all around high wearer comfort. The vertically integrated Italian mill has invested in cutting-edge knitting equipments and developed new finishes to achieve an ideal combination of function and aesthetics. In addition, these fabrics, available in a wide range of looks and styles, comply with Bluesign standards.

Designed for activewear and for fashion end-uses, these new warp knits fabrics by M.I.T.I. combine high stretch with soft brushed backs and are ideal for second layer garments: tops, leggings, pants and jackets.

Over the years, M.I.T.I. has developed a number of specialties and exclusive fabrics which have acquired a leading position in activewear, including Superroubaix and Thermoroubaix stretch brushed back fabrics which are world references. The recently launched MititechThermal and MititechPower brands complete the company's product offering with a full range or genuine compression performing fabrics for athletic apparel.
