Bonus June Presentation – Giovanna Imperia: Weaving with Metallic Yarns

This presentation will be Zoom only.

Oftentimes, when we think of metallic yarns, we assume we are dealing with metal. In fact, the terms “metal” and “metallic” are sometimes used interchangeably. However, in this presentation, we will focus on those yarns that are manmade and are intended to have the appearance of metal. Some of these yarns do actually contain some metal, but the vast majority just look like they do. Depending on how they are constructed, metallic yarns can have interesting properties: some may be energized, others may shrink, and so on. This presentation will touch on some of the basic differences between metallics and review how they can be effectively used in weaving.
