What inspired the development of exclusive yarn collections, and how do they reflect the evolving trends in the textile industry?
The Rangoli Volume-8 development of exclusive yarn collection was inspired by the evolving trends in the textile industry.

  • The fashion industry has taken new directions, driving the demand for innovative and diverse yarn collections.
  • The need for a broader colour spectrum and textures led to the creation of a comprehensive shade card.
  • The success of the initial master shade card and the growing demand for exclusive yarn collections prompted the development of new, expanded collections.

Reflection of Industry Trends

  • Increased Focus on Sustainability: Our Progreen exclusive sustainable melange yarn collections incorporate eco-friendly materials, reflecting the industry’s shift towards sustainability.
  • Growing Demand for Personalisation: The vast colour palette and textures in Volume-8 cater to the increasing demand for customised and unique textile products.
  • Advancements in Technology: The development of exclusive yarn collections is driven by technological innovations, enabling the creation of complex textures and colour combinations.
