Learn about Sorona® Stretch Fiber, an innovative, partially plant-based material that designers choose to create stretch clothing with long-lasting performance. Join DuPont’s Samit Chevli, PhD and Textile Development Expert, and Lirys Crawford, Channel Marketing Manager, for a working session that explores how Sorona® Stretch Fiber achieves durable stretch in active, outdoor, and casual fabrics. If you want to create stretch fabrics that dye easily and won’t pucker or bag after repeated washes, this session is for you. Get ready for a deep dive into everything stretch, from how much stretch you can get with Sorona®, to tips on constructing woven and knit fabrics with Sorona® Stretch Fiber. We look forward to seeing you there!
