Finishing
Finishing is the last stage of the long journey that the fibre undertakes to become fabric: it is the whole of the processes that aim to improve the appearance, the feel to the touch and the properties of the fabric.
The process involves two phases that can be customized according to the article requested by our customers: the wet finishing, which involves the use of chemicals, and the dry finishing, which is obtained using physical processes such as pressure, clutch and temperature. The strength, the softness, stability and shine of the fabric depend on the treatments used.

The charm of Menchi’s zibellino fabric
The protagonist of the Lanificio Menchi is definitely the striccato fabric, also called zibellino, made with a technique of high prestige that gives it a wavy look with unmistakable charm.
The previously gauzed and wet cloth is ennobled using the “striccatrice”, a machine that uses mechanical or vegetable thistles to give the hair of the fabric a harmonious and uniform direction. This is Menchi highlight: his ability to stand out in the use of thistles of plant origin in a textile industry increasingly marked by the use of metallic machines.
The enchanting beauty of Menchi’s zibellino fabrics is the result of years of experience, dedication and desire to create a unique product.
