HILO SPINNING MACHINE
The electric spinning machine can be used to produce customized yarn. It is used together with a digital software to program the yarn's properties.
The spinning machine can be used to spin small quantities of fibres, such as local wool, regional materials or even recycled fibres. Existing yarns can be twisted into new designs and integrate new functions, such as elasticity through overtwist. Yarn samples can be developed rapidly to test different qualities for new designs and business opportunities.
