Ugg chooses Nuyarn wool for Otzo Clog
Performance wool producer Nuyarn Technologies has teamed up with Ugg to supply linings for its Otzo Clog.
Through its spinning technology, New Zealand-based Nuyarn drafts superfine merino wool around performance filaments, rather than twisting them, which results in lightweight and durable yarns.
Mr Wynne said: “We are thrilled to see Nuyarn applied to a globally recognised brand like Ugg. Our goal has always been to prove that natural fibres can outperform synthetics when engineered correctly.”
The Otzo Clog uses Responsible Wool Standard-certified wool, ensuring animal welfare and land management standards are also met.
In 2022, Nuyarn owner TMC launched Herculan, after five years of research and development, using wool that was heading to the carpet sector to create a product with benefits for footwear, socks and backpacks.
