This combination of viscose acetate, with metallized polyester, yields a metallic yarn with unusually soft hand.  Depending on desired fabric density, it can be knit two or three ends on a standard handloom.  It is also fine enough to be worked together with other fibers to create expanded ranges of textures and effects.  This yarn knits easily and smoothly; finish with light steaming.

Sample on lower right knit with two strands on standard-gauge handloom at T2.1.
