Sometimes you need a little stretch in garments & accessories. Fixation is a DK weight, cotton yarn with a touch of spandex. The spandex allows pieces to stretch where you need them to & then bounce back to their original shape. Perfect for garments with a more fitted shape, Fixation is also soft & non-irritating. Fixation is ideal when you want a little elasticity such as bathing suits, festival tops, tank tops, tees & skirts. It is also great for home décor projects such as plant pot cozies, pillows & throws, as well as baby items.
