Warp-knitted spacer fabrics – the best way of catching a fairytale prince

Spacer textiles produced on the RD 4 for wearing next to the skin

This cloak could turn every


woman into a princess and
every frog into a prince
– all it needs is a kiss to
set the wearer free from
this slippery mantle. The
fabric for this fairytale look
is made from a warp-knitted
spacer fabric, which is not
only wonderfully soft and
airy, it is also extremely
practical to wear. The layer
of air trapped in the spacer
textile creates a pleasant
climate, whilst the pile yarns
transport moisture to the
surface from where it can
evaporate. This has open
pores, to keep the princess
cool in her quest to turn her
frog into a prince.

fabric, which is roughly 2 mm
