One of the distinctive features of Vizio Collezione is the use of elite raw materials.

What determines the value of raw materials, what are the advantages of a precious composition compared to more modest proposals?
How can you distinguish premium raw materials from more primitive ones?
“If it’s wool, it’s fine for me” will say the ignorant person; but it’s not always like that and now I’ll explain why.
Like all things, wool also has some measurement parameters that determine its value.
One of these is the fineness of the fiber, which is measured in microns and as you can imagine, the finer it is, the more precious it is.
This fineness enriches the characteristics of the final product: the extra features are mainly hypoallergenic, with excellent thermal insulation, hygroscopic, very plastic and with a silky and divine surface to the touch.
We at Vizio choose raw materials that use a minimum hair diameter:
for example, in merino wool we use extra fine merino wool, therefore NOT JUST WOOL;
in alpaca we use baby alpaca or royal baby alpaca, therefore NOT JUST ALPACA
in mohair, the superkid mohair, therefore NOT JUST MOHAIR
in cashmere it’s a type of long-haired cashmere thanks to which it becomes more resistant and flexible.
Moreover, these precious fibers have a positive effect on human health depending on the type of animal hair: they are used for the treatment of arthritis and sciatica, for relief from migraines, they have antibacterial properties and even a calming effect.
Many of these fibers we use are employed as therapeutic elements for many diseases, unlike synthetic fibers which have none of these properties listed so far.
Another precious determining factor is the length of the hair: the longer the hair, the less pilling it will produce, and by pilling we mean the appearance of “fiber balls”, caused by the rubbing of the tiny surface fibers that come out of the yarn and tangle together.
The fewer chemical compounds used, the more these raw materials will be resistant to use.
Every year, in developing a new series/collection at Vizio Collezione, we make a careful selection of the raw materials to use: hundreds of catalogs proposed by various spinning mills are studied, we study their composition, thickness and color range.
We carry out many knitting stitch tests to understand which yarn is best to use or better suited to the type of processing, and only after several experiments do we match the right type of yarn, studying density and finishes.
Our company owns not only knitwear machinery but also equipment for the production of fancy yarns, and this allows us to create exclusive models that are not found on the market.
Our principles have accompanied us for 25 years now and since then we have always tried to follow a certain style and character, committing ourselves every year to improve our art while respecting high quality and the most authentic Made in Italy.
