With Stoll's Trend Collection 'Materialization', the company broke new ground in design, materials and processing. In doing so, it faced challenge of using difficult-to-knit materials and processing them in best possible way mainly using its ADF technology, but other machine types were still used to demonstrate the versatility of its machines and technology.

The collection was first exhibited at ITMA Barcelona this past June and at SpinExpo in Shanghai in September of this year.

The collection presented new opportunities in knit and wear due to the latest ADF technology. The new ADF 830-24 ki knit and wear combines many knitting techniques such as reverse plating, Stoll-weave-in, and Stoll-ikat plating – not previously possible in the field of knit and wear.

In the collection, unusual yarns or materials were processed for the flat knitting sector. For example, cut plastic foil was used as well as polypropylene tapes from the food industry. The Stoll machines easily processed these materials and others.

In the collection, ribbon yarns were inserted using a special unwinding device.

H Stoll AG & Co KG, with headquarters in Reutlingen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) is one of the World's leading manufacturers of flat knitting machines. The Stoll brand portfolio includes flat knitting machines and pattern software that are used to produce fashion and technical textiles. It exports its products to more than 50 countries worldwide.
