Tyvekfilm is a non-toxic Tyvek 54gsm sheet of bonded, spun polyethylene fibres. With the applicaton of heat, it changes form, shrinking, bubbling and distorting, to give a range of interesting surface textures. Its 3D qualities and durability, give exciting possibilities to all those involved in the fields of Decorative Arts and Crafts. It can be stitched by hand and/or machine, and will not rip or tear.Tyvekfilm can be coloured before or after distortion, in a variety of ways, from coloured pencils and felt pens, through to fabric paints - any medium which can safely withstand the heat of an iron or heat gun. It can also be used in photocopiers and computer printers that do not use heat to transfer the image, giving great scope for the distortion of image/text etc.

Tyvekfilm Intropack contains 5 sheets with full instructions and ideas for use.

 

Tyvektex - as for Tyvekfilm, but more textured and fabric-like. Comes off a roll 1.5 metres wide.

Tyvektex Intropack contains a sample, approximately half the pack size, to experiment with, plus full instructions and ideas for use.

 

Tyvek Hints

Tyvekfilm
is a magical fibrous film which has many exciting application ideas for textile and paper artists.You can paint it, stitch it, cut it, stamp on it and emboss it - whatever takes your fancy - but the excitement comes when you apply heat to it - either using an iron or a heat gun.I have been 'playing' with Tyvekfilm for over 10 years now and am for ever amazed at the different effects I get. I have used it for making garments, (yes, you can throw it in the washing machine) making beads (I once created 365 for a project and I can tell you that I was able to talk whilst doing this but not read), in textile jewellery (no selvages to worry about) and tiny pieces wherever I have needed them in my work.

Tyvek Beads Our intro pack jam-packed full of great ideas for use.

Tyvektex
Is a more fabricky form of tyvek and likes the same treatment but I love it for garments and scrunchy beads - it is softer and very easy to stitch into.
At The Thread Studio we also sell this as an intro pack and by the metre.
