From raw material to yarn: precision at every stage

  • Material comes first

    Everything begins with the origin of fibers, as well as the precise selection and composition of materials. At Filatures du Parc, expertise lies in understanding fibers, their lengths, and how they behave. Working with recycled materials requires constant observation, adjustment, and precision. Each yarn is designed according to its intended use, durability, and appearance, balancing technical demands with textile sensitivity.

  • The art of blending

    Blending is a cornerstone of Filatures du Parc’s expertise. Fibers are sorted, selected, and carefully assembled. Experience and creativity are essential for developing new materials and colors. Like a painter’s palette, fibers become shades, textures, and depth. The precise combination of materials and colors produces uniform, consistent yarns directly from the fiber itself.

  • Mastery of craftsmanship

    Observation, touch, and experience remain essential at every stage of work at Filatures du Parc. While machines transform materials, human expertise remains at the heart of every decision. Skills are developed over time in workshops and laboratories through collaboration with experienced and passionate teams. This expertise guarantees yarn consistency, strength, and stability regardless of the materials used.

Production in 8 steps

1. Recycling

As part of a circular approach, the materials used mainly consist of end-of-life textiles collected for recycling.

2. Mechanical fiber opening

Textiles are processed to recover long fibers that can be reused in the production of new yarns.

3. Colors & samples

Materials and colors are carefully selected and combined by experienced artisans to ensure high-quality yarn.

4. Carding

The processed fibers are carded into a uniform web and divided into multiple rovings.

5. Spinning

The rovings are stretched, refined, and twisted to create strong yarn.

6. Winding

Bobbins are wound onto cones with a controlled yarn cleaning system and knotless splicing system.

7. Plying and twisting

Yarns are assembled and twisted together to strengthen their mechanical properties.

8. Quality control and traceability

The yarn cones are carefully checked and packaged to ensure complete traceability.

  • 4+

    The yarns contain blends of at least four different fibers of animal, plant, or synthetic origin. This blending creates yarns tailored to diverse customer needs (fashion, furnishings, etc.).

  • 80%

    80% of Filatures du Parc yarns contain recycled material, with recycled content reaching up to 50%.

  • 98%

    Life cycle analyses of recycled yarns show up to a 98% reduction in environmental impact compared with equivalent virgin-fiber yarns.

  • 500

    Filatures du Parc has an annual production capacity of approximately 500 tons of carded yarn.

  • 30

    Thirty employees trained internally embody the collective expertise and process mastery at the Brassac production site.

  • 5

    It can take up to five years to become a color specialist and master the blending of materials and colors, a key skill passed on within the spinning mill.

“A product that has already lived through everyday use has experienced all kinds of wear and stress. What remains is the best part — what has endured. When we can process it into long fibers, we can recreate a product of excellent quality.”
