Bridging Cultures: Antique Indian Doors with Mediterranean Arches
Quintessence
1. Quintessence
“Q” is the research of Excellence, its quintessence.
For more than twenty years have been looking all over the world
the very best cotton qualities.
The result of our passion for quality results in “Q”, an
extraordinary family of products that allowed Emilcotoni to
become recognized wordwide as leader in high quality cotton
yarns.
2. Q500
Emilcotoni created the finest cotton on earth, unique for strenght,
structure and lightness.
The raw material used is a special blend of Extra long staple
cottons made expecially by Emilcotoni and named "Top blended
Cotton" to spin the finest cotton available.
One kg of this cotton contains 500 km of yarn. This means that
with one kg of it you can link Milan and Rome together.
3. Sea Island Cotton
Choosen by the English Crown as "the" cotton, the West Indian Sea Island
Cotton is doubtless the best cotton in the world.
The real West Indian Sea Island cotton, named in Latin “Gossypium
Barbadense”, grows only in the best climatic conditions and it is cultivated only
in the British West Indies.
The West Indian Sea Island cotton, after being handpicked, is skilfully processed.
This rare and expensive raw material is made by the longest cotton fibres
available.
Furthermore this cotton has the finest existing micronaire ranging around 3,00
and giving it its characteristic resistance, silky and shiny look.
A sharp control system and a strong net of commercial partners guarantee the
full authenticity of this rare and precious material.
W.I.S.I.C.A. (West Indian Sea Island Cotton Association) controls on the premises
very harvest kg and supplies its certificate of authenticity.
4. Q380
"Sottile Emozione", thin emotion. The original idea
that led to Q 500.
Using the longest fibres available with the COM4
compact spinning system and a special twisting
technology, we create a yarn with exceptional
resistance, strenght and structure.
This yarn belongs to the Q and Wear family and, also if
a 100% cotton, it behaves like a cotton/elastic blend
making it suitable to both flat and seamless knitting
machines.
5. Giza 45
Quality, brightness, high resistance, extra long and
superfine fibres. Its rarity made him famous among
the cottons from Egypt.
The raw material used by Emilcotoni to produce its
Giza 45 come exclusively from selected Egyptian Giza
45 bales. This fiber, known as the kind of Egyptian
cotton is hand picked and then spun with special
machines: exceptional lenght and brightness (very
similar to silk) give to this yarn the handfeel and look
of a top quality product.
6. Suvin
A true rarity. The Indian Suvin is an extra long staple
cotton with an extremely long and fine fiber.
Together with the West Indian Sea Island Cotton and
the Egyptian Giza 45, the Indian Suvin is considered
one of the best cottons in the world .
The origin of this yarn is the breeding of the famous
Gossypium barbedense in India in the late thirties but
only in 1971, after countless hybridations, the Indian
Suvin was born from the crossing between the Sujata
and the SIV 35 qualities.
7. SuperPiuma
Selected from the best ELS fibers, this cotton is what
the Egyptians called the white gold.
Some years ago, Emilcotoni and an important egyptian
cotton grower undertook the challenge of creating a
very high quality cotton and the result is Superpiuma.
In a small area of the Nile's delta a special quality of
cotton with the characteristic of Giza 45 and Suvin is
grown on behalf of Emilcotoni; the result of this fields
is the raw material that lies inside our Superpiuma .
8. Supima Superwash
Supima Superwash is a top quality american cotton
engineered by Emilcotoni to have an extraordinary
resistance to water.
A cotton with extreme performances, this is what
Emilcotoni's Superwash is.
It is born from an extra long staple Supima Cotton (just the
3% of the total Supima production) grown in Texas, Arizona
and California.
These materials are spun with particular machines and
techniques, resulting in a yarn highly resistant to water.
9. Active
High tecnology cotton that maintains the bode temperature at a
constant level making garments very confortable and dry.
Emilcotoni's Active is an innovative yarn that produces high
frequency long infrared rays at a temperature between 34 and 37
degrees.
The ceramic micro parts ensembled in Active absorb energy and
give it back to the body as heat: this is generated by water
molecules of our body that produce and exchange heat with the
fabric.
The result is a pleasant sensation of dryness and confort all over
the body.
10. Tune
Winter without wool, a cotton for winter
extremely soft, warm and very confortable.
A special spinning system and a intimate blend
of 86% ELS cotton and 14% PBT give to this yarn
an handfeel similar to cashmere and 40% less
weight compared to a cotton of similar count.
Tune is the evolution of winter cottons,
guaranteeing its confort also in the coldest
season.
11. Peruvian Pima
Emilcotoni selects the best bales of
Peruvian Pima to produce its Peruvian
Pima cotton.
Thanks to a long term experience in
cotton fibre selection, Emilcotoni is able
to choose and spin an extraordinary
Pima cotton yarn certified by Pimax.
12. Ice Crêpe
Thanks to a long experience in producing voile and crêpe
yarns, Emilcotoni develops a new and innovative yarn, "Ice
crêpe®"
Using the best cotton fibres on the market and specific
spinning techniques, Emilcotoni created its "Ice crêpe ® ",
an extremely fresh yarn. Only by mechanical means an
inimitable fresh feeling is given to this yarn, this sensation is
directly transmitted to the garment and its wearer. Knitting
this yarn in the right way, all the garments produced with it
can be evaluated with the Japanese Qmax test.

cotton is blended to the finest cahsmere,
around 13 microns.
Suitable for extreme gauges knitting, fineness
and softness are the distinctive traits that give
this yarn a plus, making it an all season top
choice.
15. Elisir
Shiny and soft, THE one and only cotton/silk.

cotton/silk blend, we produced a superfine
yarn using particular extra long staple cotton
and first quality Mulberry silk.
Our long dyeing experience enriches a blend
of selected raw materials to create a unique,
elegant and modern product.

Linen and silk, two ancient and noble
