Soufflexz

Soufflexz is soft and springy just like a warm soufflé! This new mechanical stretch polyester yarn employs a unique double helix structure to achieve stretch without added polyurethane. The double helix offers a plush hand feel and comfort stretch that's much lighter, softer, and more flexible than conventional polyester yarns.
