Lycra’s Fusion fiber creates ultra-sheer, run-resistant hosiery with natural-looking shine.

Legs appear better than bare, which minimises imperfections and also make them look and feel stunning, with hosiery crafted out of this technology. This method alternates knitted courses of covered Lycra Fusion fiber with courses of bare Lycra Fusion fiber, which is plated with polyamide. What results is an unique garment offering several desirable benefits to the value chain. Mills can benefit from this as no special equipment is needed and it can be produced on a normal hosiery machine. They can reduce production costs due to the ability to use bare knitted Lycra Fusion fiber. And differentiated benefits to drive sales down the value chain are offered by patent pending innovation. Retailers and brands can benefit from this new garment as they can offer hosiery styles with natural shine, thus filling the need gap for women across the world. It offers improved table layout in stores and opens up design possibilities in ladder/run-resistant hosiery.

Ultra-sheer hosiery gives a natural appearance to the legs. However, consumers do not wish to forgo garment strength and durability for this and want transparent hosiery, which halts runs and ladders in their tracks and helps in augmenting the garment’s life.
