Yamagata, Japan — Spiber Inc., a pioneering Japanese bio-venture known for its revolutionary Brewed Protein™ fiber produced using cutting-edge fermentation technology, proudly announces its successful partnership with Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia (ZBLB), a prestigious Italian premium mill renowned for its expertise in wool spinning. Since beginning their collaboration in 2023, Spiber and ZBLB have been working to unlock the full potential of Brewed Protein™ fiber.
By experimenting with a wide range of spinning techniques, the two companies have been able to bring out the fiber’s unique qualities through meticulous trials and innovations. “We are enthusiastic to start this journey into innovation and circularity together with Spiber. I believe that both companies share a common mission: all the intense R&D work done together during last year proved our strong capability to innovate and offer new answers to the high-end segment of the knitwear market. The first results of this partnership are yarns with a strong potential in terms of quality and performance, thanks to the winning mix of two environmentally friendly, circular components: 100% traceable merino wool and innovative Brewed Protein™ fiber.” – Lorenzo Piacentini, CEO of Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia S.p.A. The result of this collaboration is newly developed yarn blends, comprising 30% Brewed Protein™ fiber and 70% RWS merino wool that can be tailored for both knitting and weaving, and are now available for sale.
The yarns offer an exceptional hand feel, combining the advanced properties of Brewed Protein™ fiber with ZBLB’s expertise in merino wool spinning and finishing techniques. Its versatility makes it ideal for premium applications such as jersey knitwear and woven coats. Both Spiber and ZBLB are excited to continue their partnership, expanding their product range to include blended and 100% Brewed Protein™ fiber yarns. Together, they aim to offer more socially and environmentally responsible textile solutions, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in biomaterials.
