Seawool
Creative Tech Textile has found a way to transform discarded oyster shells into a textile technology after years of extensive learning and research. They successfully discovered a method to combine the oyster shells and recycled PET bottles. They named the yarn "Seawool" inspired by its wool-like structure and texture. The oysters used are cultivated along the coast and are rich in minerals from the ocean. The textiles made from discarded oyster shells are not only soft, unlike the shells, they also possess many various functions, making the experience even more comfortable. The fabric features low thermal conductivity, enhancing insulation against cold temperatures; UV protection to help prevent sunburn and melanin deposition on the skin; far-infrared properties that gently raise the wearer’s body temperature; odor-free performance that eliminates strong or pungent smells; and a soft, wool-like touch with excellent elasticity and resistance to deformation. Some products using the seawool technology include lightweight shirts, flannel shirts, uniforms, pants, knitwears, sweaters, gloves, blankets, and ankle socks.
