The yarns are available either with or without a Nylon support yarn wrapped around:
- Reflex
a retro-reflective yarn in a both supported and unsupported forms.
- Liteback
a very fine supported and unsupported retro-reflective yarn most suitable for weaving due to its relative high yield compared to other retro-reflecitve yarns.
Suitable for knitting are the ones marked with "2x20". These are supplied on cones.
All the others (without the nylon support) are supplied on bobbins and are not suitable for knitting unless it is handknitting.
Yarn is not dyed and not suitable for dyeing.
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.
