Why Micro Textures: 


Micro textures refer to the small-scale surface structures on a textile material that give it unique physical and aesthetic properties. These textures can include patterns, ridges, grooves, and other surface features and are the core of setting up any seamless and circular knitted programming. 

Micro textures can affect the way a textile feels, the way it drapes and folds, and even its durability. In addition, they can play a role in the overall look and style of a textile product. The swatches in our micro textiles toolkit are created with a playful and refined geometric pattern, creating a modern look and feel, perfect for diverse applications such as activewear and casual wear. By providing this core content and know-how you can develop your designs from the base-up, and deliver textile aesthetically beautiful items with the right function, performance and sensorial aspect.
