Jiangsu Sunshine Group produces 50 new cotton piece goods every day. The most common cloths are made of thousands of 160-meter-long strands of silk drawn from one gram of soft and permeable wool.

Modern production techniques are trending toward automation and intelligence, and traditional looms are becoming increasingly obsolete. It is now possible to draw a 500-meter-long strand of silk from one gram of wool, which is especially useful for women's scarfs and shirts.

As a flexible, warm, and permeable material, wool can also be used as furnishing fabric. Contrary to popular belief, today's wool fabrics are machine washable, antifouling, flame retardant, and have the ability to discharge oil, due to advances in wool-spinning techniques.

As part of the Belt and Road initiative, Jiangsu Sunshine Group has decided to expand production in Ethiopia by about a third by the end of 2018.
