Point6
For generations, wool producers have tried to produce
bright white wool. Now using Enciel, Point6 has created
what it says is a brilliantly white sock range that will change
the merino wool game forever. With a whiteness value of
161 on the CIE Gantz whiteness scale, Enciel has achieved
a level of white, whiter than optically white cotton. It is a
white that does not fade in sunlight and laundering, says
the company. White wool offers the opportunity to bring a
whole new color palette to wool garments. Not only can
the white wool be used as the final yarn color, the white
yarns also can be dyed vibrant rich colors and clean pastel
shades. www.point6.com
Polarmax
New proprietary XTRdry fabric dries in a fraction of the

for cotton, which makes it hydrophobic, without losing the
soft feel or breathability of cotton. This new cotton fabric
will be featured in a number of styles, including men’s
and women’s Zip Mock, men’s Crew, men’s Mock and a
women’s Roll. Colors include black, white, charcoal, sky,
plum and turquoise. Suggested retail prices range from
$49.95 to $59.95. www.polarmax.com
