The solution:
LYCRA® FUSION™ TRUE TO YOU technology is a new product extension that makes it possible to create ultra-sheer, run-resistant hosiery with natural-looking shine. Hosiery made with this technology gives legs a better than bare appearance that minimizes imperfections and makes legs look and feel stunning. This is achieved by using a patent pending 3D construction method that alternates knitted courses of covered LYCRA® FUSION™ fiber with courses of bare LYCRA® FUSION™ fiber that is plated with polyamide. The result is a unique garment that offers many desirable benefits for the value chain.
