For use in automatic front loading machines only.

There used to be a dye for synthetics called Dylon or Dyelon or something that sounded like that. Check at crafts stores and fabric stores or even online to see if the stuff is still made. I heard it was good.

Blends make for brisk business at Filo

31.12.69

October, in Milan, showed an increase in exhibitors, and business appeared brisk. This was despite lower production figures and higher imports registered in Italy for the sector during 2012.  

Filo gave one of the first glimpses of SS 2014 to buyers, who besides coming to source specific yarns for knitting and weaving, were looking at ideas for a season which they are only just beginning to consider.

With the suggested colour palette for the new season fixed and confirmed by the spinners and Gianni Bologna’s trend area, Filo gave strong indications of consensus, which this time centred round blends and performance as priorities.

Visitors were mainly from Europe; Italy, France, and the UK, and the show also featured visitors from Japan.  There was in addition a nucleus of Japanese exhibitors, two of them new to Filo this season, Hasegawa and Reiko, with design to the fore.
