Lame & Metallic Fabric

At Mood Fabrics, we have an exceptional selection of lame and metallic materials, from lace and sequins to foiled faux leather and glitter tulle. Lame fabric is a stunning textile made to catch the eye with its dazzling properties. Metallic threads are often woven into lame fabric in a way that leaves them exposed on the surface, reflecting light and giving off a shimmering effect. Lame fabric is often used in dance clothing, formalwear, costumes, and anything else that requires a touch of sophistication and intrigue.

Woven or knit, with thin ribbons of metallic yarns, Lame is easily distinguished from guipe where the ribbons are wrapped around a fibre yarn. Considered a hybrid fabric, Lame is produced from a combination of metallic fibers and polyester or nylon fibers. This fabric is not completely metal but rather metal coated plastic or yarn fibers are most common. Such a blend is ideal as the metal fibers will not tarnish.
