Quietfire Design - Angelina Fibres

Angelina Fiber is a new, very fine (sized as small as 10 denier), unique fiber. Light reflective, as well as light refractive, Angelina is incredibly luminescent, while (unlike regular metallics) it has an extremely soft hand. Blended with other fibers in amounts as small as 2%, it gives sparkle and highlight to your yarn.

Angelina comes in 2 fibre types:
Heatbondable and Not-Heatbondable

Heatbondable fibers can be ironed at a low temperature to fuse them together. You can mix with Non-Heatbondable colors in any combination and use the Heatbondable fibers as the "glue" The end result will be determined by the temperature, pressure from the iron and time used to heat the fibers. Generally, these fibers will not fuse to any other fiber, paper or other medium except itself.

The instructions for heat bonding are as follows: The temperature required is dependent on several variables including dwell time and applied pressure. Increasing dwell time and heat results in predictable color shifts in the fiber.
Heat iron to silk temperature setting. NOTE: Approximate bonding temperature is 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Since temperature gauges on irons vary widely even within most brand models, it is best to test a small amount to determine the correct bonding temperature. Place a small amount of fiber between two sheets of tissue paper or parchment paper. Gently, with light pressure, move the iron back and forth Check frequently on the bonding progress. NOTE: Be careful not to "fry" the Angelina fiber with too much heat or do repeated pressing as the fibers lose their sheen and become a dull brownish version of the color.

All Quietfire Angelina Fibres are Heatbondable!
