Special Yarns<br />
Weaving cloth can be made more<br />
exciting by the type of yarn used.<br />
This selection of yarns have been<br />
brought together to provoke the<br />
imagination and fuel a passion for<br />
textiles.<br />
Metallised Yarn<br />
A special yarn in gold or silver finish, made by<br />
3rd generation Japanese craftsmen. The yarn is<br />
made from real metallised silver and is soft and<br />
supple to the hand and specifically designed for<br />
hand weaving Songket fabrics in Malaysia as well<br />
as the high end of the Kimono market in Japan.<br />

Water Soluble Monofilament Yarn<br />
A 90 denier yarn which shrinks by 40%<br />
when placed in water at 40°C, and dissolves<br />
completely at 70°C. It can be used for Shibori<br />
or to support a low strength warp or weft<br />
yarn, and to stabilise open weaves. The low<br />
temperature for dissolving means that even<br />
fine woven <strong>silk</strong> will not lose lustre. Complex<br />
textures can be developed by allowing the<br />
yarn to shrink, or two and three dimensional<br />
structures assembled before removing all traces<br />
of the original yarn superstructure.<br />

Light Reflective Yarn<br />
Coated with reflective material on both sides,<br />
this 1mm wide PVC plastic strip is strong<br />
enough to stitch with and used in both warp<br />
and weft. The yarn can be ironed with a<br />
cool iron but will shrink when a hot iron is<br />
applied. The shrinkage does not affect the<br />
reflective quality and can be used to create<br />
special weaving effects. We recommend<br />
experimentation and testing before starting<br />
your project. The yarn, which presents as<br />
a pale grey reflects to a silver white and is<br />
extremely difficult to photograph.<br />
