New Lifecycle Cotton thread introduced
AMANN has introduced the Lifecycle Cotton thread to complete its C2C thread range.
Cradle to Cradle (C2C) is a set of design principles, which was developed in the 1990s by Prof Dr Michael Braungart and William McDonough. C2C describes the safe and potentially infi nite circulation of materials and nutrients in cycles. C2C circular economy is in contrast to the current business model Cradle to Grave, where a huge amount of waste is generated.
C2C consists of two different cycles: biological and technical.
• Textiles circulate in a biological cycle to which they can be returned. After use, they turn into compost or other materials, which are again used to make new products. In this way, old products do not turn into waste but into nutrients for a new product.
• Textiles circulate in a technical cycle. These products are already optimised during the design and manufacturing process as material resources for their next service life as new products (raw material homogeneity). After use, textiles can be returned to the manufacturer, who reintroduces the material into new products for the technical cycle.
AMANN Group is the fi rst sewing thread producer worldwide that can offer sewing threads for both cycles with its enhanced Lifecycle range. Lifecycle Polyamide, a sewing thread made from recycled polyamide 6.6, is specifi cally developed for the technical cycle. It is made from textile waste and has excellent strength and colour fastness properties.
Lifecycle Cotton AMANN
Now, AMANN has completed its range for C2C threads by launching Lifecycle Cotton, the new sewing thread for the biological cycle. Lifecycle Cotton is made from extra long-staple mercerised organic cotton.
Besides the C2C product line, AMANN also offers a Recycled product line of sewing threads made from 100% recycled, transparent PET bottles. With this, AMANN has taken an important step on the way to reducing resource consumption.

New complete range of embroidery machines Holiauma UK distributes a range of single-head, two-head, four-head, six-head and eight-
Holiauma six-head head embroidery machines.
Launched last year, the company expects the single-head and two-head in particular to be very popular in the UK, due to their price point being ideal for business start-ups and beginners. The single-head has what is believed to be the largest sewing fi eld in the industry at 400x600mm on a standard sized machine, and the Y axis for embroidering caps is also one of the largest at 100mm.
The machines are high-speed and run at 1,200 stitches a minute. As standard, each machine in the range is fi tted with an automatic oiling system, which users need to pump once a day to send oil to all the moving parts. The 47 head type on each machine is the newest on the market, which allows the machines to run at high-speed for caps and provide high-quality embroideries. Besides all of this, each machine has standard features such as built-in WiFi and a graffi ti function with a stylus.
