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. It is material for life — chosen for years of use, not a single season. So the first things we focused on were softness, how it feels on skin, and how well it keeps its shape. Everything else followed from there.

“The knitting experience was excellent. The yarn is exceptionally soft and glides smoothly over both the fingers and needles without any scratching, catching, or resistance. It has a subtle, fluffy halo…
In a 1x1 rib pattern, the yarn performs exactly as expected, creating an elastic rib while feeling noticeably finer and softer than conventional merino.”

“The yarn has a very soft, almost creamy texture. It feels delicate, voluminous, and elegant in the hand. Using my preferred needle size of 3.5mm, the stockinette fabric shows good stitch definition while retaining the yarn’s characteristic softness and loft after blocking.
The yarn’s greatest strengths are its exceptional softness, pleasant hand feel, and elegant appearance - delicate and light on the skin.”

“As a chemical engineer specializing in fiber science, I’m always curious about innovative materials, and material 1 genuinely impressed me. It’s incredibly soft and scrumptious, glides beautifully across the needles, and is simply a joy to knit with.
A technically fascinating fiber that also delivers where it matters: in your hands and on your needles.”
