Retroreflective Yarn

Knitting

Suitable for knitting are:

• Liteback 2x20
• Reflex
   

These are supplied on cones and have a nylon support, marked by the term "2x20". 
All the others (without the nylon support) are supplied on bobbins and are not suitable for knitting unless it is handknitting.

Circular knitting, flat bed knitting or hosiery possible. However customer must be aware that these retro-reflective yarns are not easy to work. First of all they are heavy and secondly due to the glass beads they are quite abrasive (wear on needles)! Also finishing is not too easy: no dyeing - avoid alkali or acid treatments.

Weaving

Flash most suited for weaving due to its relative high yield compared to other retro-reflective yarns. 

Dyeing

Yarn is not dyed and not suitable for dyeing.

Notes reg. embroidery

Glass beads are perfectly protected. The reflective material will not peel off, after washing, sewing, knitting etc. 
To improve sewability, the customer may apply lubricant oil without affecting the brightness.
