June 1, 2026

The latest addition to the UGG lifestyle collection features Nuyarn® technology, delivering unmatched durability and comfort through revolutionary wool spinning

June 1, 2026 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Nuyarn® technologies, a proven innovator in performance yarn and fabric is proud to announce the collaboration with UGG on the Otzo Clog. This partnership marks a significant integration of Nuyarn’s patented spinning technology into a premium lifestyle silhouette, setting a new standard for performance in natural footwear.

The Otzo Clog combines UGG’s signature design heritage with Nuyarn’s technical excellence. Featuring a sleek nubuck upper and a wool jersey lining powered by Nuyarn® technology, the clog offers a level of moisture management and durability that traditional ring-spun wool cannot match. Unlike conventional methods that “twist the life” out of wool fibers, Nuyarn’s process drafts wool onto a high-performance filament, preserving the fiber’s natural benefits while amplifying its strength.

“Pairing Nuyarn technology with iconic comfort is a perfect example of how our technology can elevate a lifestyle product into a high-performance essential,” said Andy Wynne, CEO of Nuyarn. “We are thrilled to see Nuyarn applied to a globally recognized brand like UGG. Our goal has always been to prove that natural fibers can outperform synthetics when engineered correctly.”

“Partnering with UGG allows us to take the natural performance benefits of wool; breathability, warmth, and moisture management and amplify them through a technology that reflects our commitment to innovation and premium quality,” said VP of Nuyarn Sales, Monica Ebert.

This partnership aligns with the growing demand for natural, renewable materials in the fashion industry. Nuyarn’s process uses 30% fewer raw materials and 73% less energy, supporting a more sustainable production ecosystem. The Otzo Clog utilizes RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) certified wool, ensuring animal welfare and land management standards are met from farm to fabric.

About Nuyarn:

Nuyarn® stands at the forefront of fabric innovation, revolutionizing the world of high-performance textiles with natural fibers like merino wool. Through its advanced spinning technology, Nuyarn drafts superfine merino wool around performance filaments, rather than twisting them, which results in ultralightweight and remarkably durable fabrics. Utilizing Nuyarn technology, Herculan® is an emerging technology that opens the door for performance garments to tap into the over-abundant and underutilized industrial strong wool. Previously seen as too coarse for the apparel sector, Herculan utilizes Nuyarn technology to create strong wool yarns for use in textiles that are light enough for apparel, yet extremely durable.
