Fixation
by Cascade,
made in Brazil
|
It is a stretch cotton yarn in fascinated solid and print colours. It is suitable for summer knitwear of any kind, including swimming suits. Fixation is easy in knitting, but as it is stretchable, please don't forget to knit a swatch to calculate the exact tension before making a garment.
* Lycra is a brand name of the Spandex fiber produced by DuPont(USA). It has excellent stretch and recovery properties (it can be stretched over 500% without breaking), can be stretched repeatedly and still recover it's original length. It is more durable than rabber,soft, smooth and supple. Even more: it is resistant to body oils, perspiration, lotions or detergents, has no static or pilling problems.
