CF50 100% Corn Fibre 55 grams

Corn – 100% Corn Fibre…also known as Ingeo

Extremely clean combed top. Pristine, true white in colour.

As a spinning or knitting fibre, it is soft and lustrous, breathes and absorbs moisture well, has good drape and warmth and is easy to care for. Corn is machine washable but should be air or tumble dried only. Do not iron!

Considered a plant or cellulose fibre but neither acid nor fibre reactive dyes will work on corn fibre. Natural dyers could try using techniques used on cotton, and it is not clear how corn behaves in an indigo bath.

When blended with protein fibres, acid dyes will leave the corn alone during dyeing, which makes for some wonderful streaky or heathered effects, depending on how well the fibres are blended.
