Burnout/Devoré Knit
Burnout/Devoré Knit is a specialty fabric characterized by its unique texture created through a chemical process that partially dissolves fibers, resulting in a sheer, patterned appearance.
About Burnout/Devoré Knit
This fabric is typically made from a blend of rayon and polyester, where the burnout technique is applied to create a contrast between opaque and sheer areas. The construction involves knitting the fibers together before applying a chemical agent that selectively removes parts of the fiber, leading to a delicate, lace-like effect. It is often used in fashion for overlays, evening wear, and decorative elements due to its elegant appearance and lightweight nature.
