Unspun

Unspun builds automated 3D weaving machines that turn yarn directly into garment shapes ready for sewing, instead of cutting every piece from rolls of fabric. Its system is aimed at brands and manufacturers that want more local, on-demand production, and the company has worked with partners including Walmart and Decathlon.

Why we're watching

Its work with established manufacturers will test whether 3D weaving can change production planning beyond limited fashion collections.

Funding

Unspun raised a $32 million Series B in 2024 led by DCVC, with participation from Lowercarbon Capital, E12, Decathlon and SOSV.
