Nuyarn Technologies, a proven innovator in performance yarn and fabric, is proud to announce its 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 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 percent fewer raw materials and 73 percent less energy, supporting a more sustainable production ecosystem. The Otzo Clog utilizes Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified wool, ensuring animal welfare and land management standards are met from farm to fabric.
