Five trends were proposed by SpinExpo New York under a theme of “Develop Your Eye Autumn/Winter 2010-11”, offering sources of inspiration, choices of yarns, and details through to the development of the samples.
Held at Metropolitan Pavilion & Altman Building in New York City, the US, this July, the fair was the first yarn exhibition in USA in more than five years. It hosted 75 exhibiting companies from 16 countries and received 1,534 selected visitors. About 75% visitors were originated from the USA, including 38.75% from New York. Central and South America represented 4%, Canada 1% and Europe 9%. Asian countries represented 11%, indicating the importance of the relationship of US buyers with their Hong Kong or Shanghai trading companies when it comes to production, the organizer of SpinExpo New York commented.

A gentle range evokes snowscapes, drawing inspiration from ecology and sustainability.
In terms of handle and yarns, brushing, felting and washing revive the sophistication of the materials. The worn aspect is transformed with three-dimensional works.
Mixed yarn counts, layering of different fibres due to the twist, and a touch of naturalness are underscored. Yarns can be fine or bulky.
