Naia Fiber
Eastman has launched a new staple fibre version of its Naia cellulosic acetate, designed for producing wrinkle-resistant and skin-friendly woven fabrics. Traditionally known in filament form for its silky appearance, the new staple version is ideal for blending with luxury fibres like wool, linen, and cashmere.
Naia staple fibres create soft, durable fabrics that are quick-drying, manage odour, and maintain a comfortable micro-climate. Made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, these fibres are biodegradable, compostable, and produced through a closed-loop process that recycles solvents, reducing environmental impact.
The fibres are perfect for weaving premium, lightweight fabrics that are soft, easy to care for, and resistant to pilling. Carolina Sister Cohn, Eastman’s global marketing leader for textiles, said, “These Naia staple fibres provide exciting opportunities for woven fabrics, blending casual and formal elements while meeting the demand for comfort, style, and sustainability.” Naia staple fibre brings aesthetics and performance to a wide range of garments, offering accessible sustainability for all.
