Angelina Fibers Forty-two
Colors Available
Angelina
Fiber is a new, very fine (sized as small as 10 denier), unique fiber. Light
reflective, as well as light refractive, Angelina is incredibly luminescent while
(unlike regular metallics) it has an extremely soft hand. Blended with other fibers
in amounts as small as 2%, it gives sparkle and highlight to your threads, yarns,
art quilts, or surface design and embellishment project.   In
naturally occurring mother of pearl, opals and peacock feather, reflected rays
interact to reinforce some wavelengths and dampen others. This breaks up the white
light, so various colors reflect to the viewer. This same concept is used in the
manufacture of the Iridescent Angelina fiber.
NOTE: The base color is the
color of the fiber when there is no direct light reflection. Every portion
of the fiber has the potential to reflect to the viewer sparkles of color. This
is what gives the fiber its lively "color in motion" quality. The effect can be
like watching light dance off the surface of water. The slivers of
holographic fibers give off ultra high-tech color refractive rainbow, while
the metalized fiber gives soft metallic highlights. The Electric
has soft reflection and solid neon colors. Imagine diamond-like dew drops on a
spider's web and the iridescence of butterfly wings! Angelina Fibers Types:
-
Heat bondable AKA Hot Fix: These fibers can be ironed at a low
temperature to fuse them together. You can mix with Staple colors in any combination
and use the Heatbondable fibers as the "glue" The end result will be
determined by the temperature, pressure from the iron and time used to heat the
fibers. Generally, these fibers will not fuse to any other fiber, paper or other
medium except itself. - Staple (NOT Heatbondable): The Staples
do not adhere to themselves or the heat bondables. Heated on a higher temperature
may get it to fuse but you may lose color and/or sheen according to the manufacturer.
Mixed with the heat bondables. You can use them anywhere. They can add a third
dimension if you wish to let some fibers protrude from the surface of your artwork.
Angelina Fibers Classifications: - Iridescent, Florescent,
Sparkles: Highly reflective fibers that shimmer with other brilliant tones.
Most are Heat Bondable.
- Holographic: A spectrum of the rainbow
colors on sleek fibers
- Metalized: These are made of true metals
and have a softer finish. These are Staples and NOT Heatbondable but can be mixed
with other bondable fibers.
- Electric: Five bright neon fibers that
will stand out in any fabric display or fashion. These are all Staples and NOT
Heatbondable
- Flash: These are shimmery fibers of one color, Rose
Gold Flash, Purple Flash etc. some are Staple and some are Heatbondable
- Crystals:
The Crystals all have shimmery white fibers with a different "glow"
or highlight. The four Crystals come in BOTH Staple AND Heatbondable for each
of the four Crystal colors.
The instructions for heat bonding are
as follows: The temperature required is dependent on several variables
including dwell time and applied pressure. Increasing dwell time and heat results
in predictable color shifts in the fiber. NOTE: Generally, Angelina Heat
Bondable AKA Hot Fix fiber will only adhere to itself AND the staple (no bond)
Angelina's and NOT to other fibers, tissue paper or fabrics. - Heat
iron to silk temperature setting.
- NOTE: Approximate bonding temperature
is 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Since temperature gauges on irons vary widely
even within most brand models, it is best to test a small amount to determine
the correct bonding temperature.
- Place a small amount of fiber between
two sheets of tissue paper or parchment paper.
- Gently, with light pressure,
move the iron back and forth
- Check frequently on the bonding progress.
- NOTE: Be careful not to "fry" the Angelina fiber with too much heat or
do repeated pressing as the fibers lose their sheen and become a dull brownish
version of the color.

impression of what Angelina Fibers actually looks like, and are meant for reference
only. This is truly a "must see to appreciate" product! We've attempted to
picture the fibers as close to the original but they can change after heating
them too!! |
