Karl Mayer, Germany’s leading textile machinery company, has developed a new stylish and comfortable sloungewear, featuring lace produced with OJ 83/1 B raschel machine. Karl Mayer is a market leader for innovations in textile machinery building, which offers perfect solutions for warp knitting, technical textiles, and warp preparation for weaving.

Sloungewear is one of the latest products to emerge from this imaginative crossover sector, that is, comfortable, on-trend clothing that combines leisurewear with nightwear. The top and shorts set combines the styling of pyjamas with a pattern typical of outerwear.
The all-over lace is produced on a Lace.Express. It features floral motifs in a geometric arrangement and a large, striking pattern, which can only be produced on machines having a large number of guide bars. An OJ 83/1 B with a gauge of E 24 is used to produce it. The flexible, multi-bar raschel machine worked a ground featuring a variety of patterns next to each other, comprising open, organic structures and filigree mesh areas. The contrasting effects in the ensemble are enhanced even more by using matt, textured and untextured, shimmering polyamide, according to a Karl Mayer press release.

The eye-catching, dynamic look was designed by Neil Thorpe. Karl Mayer collaborated with the Chinese company, Dongyang Hongji Industry, which supplied the yarn. (GK)
