The present invention is directed to eyectrochromic, supercapacitor yarns and the related fabrics. An electrochromic yarn formed by two interwind threads has been invented. The yarn is electrically isolated by a transparent, uncolored polymer. Each thread is the superposition of three concentric layers. The most internal one, the core, has the function of support and/or conductive layer, the second one is the eiectrochromic layer containing conductive nanoparticies, the third layer is a polymer dielectric blend. The yarns described above allows to generate electrochromic fabrics in which the colour can be varied by the application of small electric voltages fed by a battery with variable power supply controlled by a microprocessor connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth technology. A specific application on the smartphone allows to change the voltage supply to the fabrics, in order to get the desired chromatic change.

Wool fabrics are disclosed that have improved stretch properties. The wool fabrics can be used in numerous and diverse applications, such as to make uniforms. The fabric can be designed to have greater than 15%, such as greater than about 20% stretch in one or more directions, such as in the fill direction. In one aspect, longer wool fibers are used in the fabric in order to increase durability.
