Tuscarora To Use NAT's CRAiLAR Flax In New Blends

摘要

Naturally Advanced Technologies Inc. (NAT), Vancouver, Canada, has granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to Tuscarora Yarns Inc., Mt. Pleasant, N.C., under which Tuscarora will design and manufacture specialty yarns containing blends of NAT's CRAiLAR~® Flax fiber with cotton or other fibers. The yarns are being developed for sale and distribution to third-party Crailar licensees. NAT expects the partnership will open avenues for the fiber's use in heretofore-unexplored apparel sectors such as couture fashion, sports performance, extreme weather gear; and certain home furnishings sectors.
