Introducing the world's first hand knitting yarn made from Brewed Protein™ — where next-generation biotechnology meets the craft of knitting.
Vision
material.1 is a yarn you wear every day. Made for how you actually live, not for a single season. So the first things we focused on were softness and how it feels on skin. Everything else followed from there.

Spiber Inc.
Founded in 2007 in Yamagata, Japan, Spiber developed Brewed Protein™ fiber — a protein fiber produced through microbial fermentation of plant sugars, petroleum-free, animal-free, biodegradable in soil and in water.
Spiber planted a dream in us: a future where high-quality materials are ecological, circular, and waste-free. That’s why we joined the BioCircular Materials Alliance — a coalition founded by Spiber to build a truly circular materials economy.
And that’s why we share a vision of moving toward post-consumer textile waste as a raw material — turning yesterday’s clothes into tomorrow’s fiber.
NATIVA™
NATIVA™ showed us that wool is more than just fiber — it’s the animals, the land, and generations of family heritage.
Our wool comes from NATIVARegen™ farms in Uruguay, where the soil is restored, animals live on open pastures, and every fiber can be traced back to the farm where it comes from.
Through NATIVA™, we stay connected to the people behind the wool — the farmers and their families, and the communities NATIVA™ supports through education, training, and cultural programs.
