To produce socks made with bamboo viscose, Kindy has worked with the IFTH to develop a new knitting process. Research is going on with the CRITT of Tours in order to refine and industrialize traditional dyeing techniques based on the use of plants which cost a lot. The Naturaïa socks project costs about € 40 000, half financed by the Ademe.
