COAT OF MANY COLOURS
DYED ALL AT ONCE
LONDON, July 11
A new synthetic fibre, making possible a novel range of fabrics, has been produced in Britain after four years’ research.
As a result, colour effects which could be had only by blending and weaving can now be got from a single bath of dye after the fibre has been woven into the piece with wool or with other viscose synthetic fibres. It is equally effective for knitting yarns and madeup garments, of both worsted and woollen types—for men’s suitings and for cloths for women’s costumes.
When blended in this way with other fibres, the dyeing properties of Britain’s war-time discovery are, it is claimed, unique.
