Rieter, Spoerry DevelopElastic Com4® Core Yarns
Rieter Machine Works Ltd., Switzerland, and Switzerland-based Spoerry & Co.AG have
developed very fine elastic compact-core yarns based on Com4® yarns spun using Rieter’s ComforSpin®
system.Rieter says the ComforSpin system’s modular construction enables flexible adaptation of the
compacting elements to specific requirements, while consistent quality is guaranteed over the
entire machine.The fine yarns produced, noted for their low hairiness, are suitable for
circular-knit high-quality underwear, and seamless hosiery and bodystockings, as well as for warp
and weft yarns for stretch woven shirts and women’s outerwear.They are marketed by Spoerry under
the Sensual brand name and are distributed by Switzerland-based Nef+Co.
