Divina is a full-cloth product, which means that it is manufactured by weaving the yarn in a coarse linen hose casing, after which it is subjected to mechanical processing using very high temperatures at the same time as it is being coloured. This is where the surface becomes smooth, directionless and uniform in a manner very similar to the properties of felt. The material shrinks by 25-30% during this procedure.
When yarns are woven and “filled”, the wool content really comes into its own. The material is transformed from being coarse woven and slightly itchy to a soft and comfortable textile with an attractive and smooth surface. This ensures that the structure of the material is less pronounced; thus giving its colours a chance to really shine. It is for this reason that Divina is one of the best products for showing off colours in all their glory, and thereby being the best possible material for handling an extensive range of tones. The colour range moves from the elegant and restrained tones of cashmere, beige, brown, olive, grey, white and black to clear, strong colours such as red, orange, yellow, blue and green.
