World renowned fabrics developers, Avelana and Roudière, have again revolutionised the textile market with the release of a thermoregulating fabric made from Australian merino wool that incorporates nanotechnology.

The woollen material keeps the wearer warm in cold weather and warms them up when it gets cold. Known as Klimeo, the fabric uses nanotechnology developed microcapsules grafted to the fabric fibres. As the temperature changes, so too do the capsules. In cold weather, the capsules contain a solid material. This material becomes a liquid at higher temperatures. It is this phase change that provides the temperature regulation. The tiny size of the microcapsules means the treatment given to the fabric is invisible and does not change the texture or look of the material - it is also fully washable and is able to be dry cleaned.
