Fibrillated raffia
The fibrillation consists in the controlled weakening of the flat raffia. This process involves the creation of small repeated cuts at a constant distance, creating a homogeneous texture in the fiber. Thanks to this process, the fibrillated raffia is more workable and has a soft feel.
One of the problems that can be found with fibrillated raffia is to have a large amount of dust during processing. CalloniFIL, thanks to the selection of excellent raw materials and careful processing, is able to obtain a yarn that generates a minimum amount of dust during the processing of our customers. This makes it possible to reduce machine stops for cleaning, as well as having greater safety at work.
