The origin of the name and its qualities

lisle cotton yarn

Lisle Cotton Yarn is a precious yarn used to make the highest quality knitwear.
 

Why is it called Lisle Cotton Yarn?

The yarn of this cotton is produced with the fibers of the precious Egyptian cotton that grows only on Nile river. Its textile fibers are subjected to a mercerization process, the treatment of cellulose with caustic soda, which it takes its name from its creator, the English chemist John Mercer, and it is tested on cotton for the first time in Scotland in the factory J&P Coats of Paisley. This is the reason why it is called Lisle Cotton Yarn.

The great quality and high performance make this yarn so prestigious all over the world and each country translates its name: in English Lisle Cotton Yarn, in Spanish Hilo de Escocia and in French Fil d’Ecosse.
