The Wool Factory

Preparation The excellence of the Lanificio Angelico starts with the selecting of the most prestigious wool. Then there is the care and attention given to the preparation of the raw materials. Starting from the WORSTING of the fleece, which is worked to obtain strips regulated in length and direction. A control system has been developed which is capable of monitoring all the variables of this complex operation, to render this processing phase absolutely perfect.

Spinning The semi-finished wool products called tops, are now ready for a fundamental phase of the entire production process: SPINNING. The quality of the wool is rendered even higher thanks to a further selection that is performed using specific machines: combers, blenders, coaters and rings. The wool is output from this procedure in one long single thin yarn, ideal for making fabric.

Warping This is the phase where the longitudinal part of the fabric, consisting of thousands of yarns, is prepared to be mounted on the frame. WARPING consists of various phases, and is extremely complex given that even a minor error can generate defects in the fabric.

Weaving In this phase a frame is used where the warp consisting of all the vertical yarns encounters the weft yarn, which leads to the creation of the actual fabric. This phase is known as WEAVING.

Finishing At this point, the fabric is ready to receive the final finishing. During the FINISHING phase the product undergoes a series of additional treatments to achieve aesthetic and structural perfection of every minimum detail. It is here that the stability, soft hand and visual elegance of the fabric become an unmistakeable trait of Angelico's production.

The product The creativity, innovation and extensive experience in each of these fundamental phases bring Angelico's fabrics to life, fabrics for PASSION.
