LYCRA® LIVING LIGHTS FIBER

Increases dye uptake to eliminate grin-through in hosiery

WHY CHOOSE LYCRA® LIVING LIGHTS FIBER?

The challenge:    

Spandex (elastane) grin-through and poor dyeability are common issues when these fibers are used to create great-fitting, comfortable hosiery. It’s difficult to achieve flawless looks when the dye is only on the surface of the fiber and spandex glitter is apparent throughout the garment. How can you solve these problems to increase desirability in your products?

The solution:       

LYCRA® LIVING LIGHTS fiber raises the bar when it comes to hosiery aesthetics by eliminating grin-through and improving dye uptake. This makes it possible for you to achieve deeper fashion colors and more natural flesh tones, among other benefits.
