Rayon Fabrics Made of Cupra-Ammonium Yarns
Otto Niemann · The Melliand, April 1929
Article · 2 pages
A short 1929 article from The Melliand by Otto Niemann on fine-filament cupra-ammonium rayon yarns that give fabrics with the look, drape and handle of silk. It gives construction details for four piece-dyed sample fabrics (voile, chiffon crepe, satin crepe, and a radium underwear/shirting fabric), including ends and picks per inch, yarn denier and twist. It also advises using clip rather than pin tenter frames in finishing and notes that the rayon fabrics cost less than silk. The second page shows the four swatches as magnified images.
