Man-Made Fibres V: 'Ban-Lon' and 'Helanca' (Vanity Fair, May 1962)

 Picking up where we left off a couple of months ago, we come to the fibres trademarked under the names Ban-Lon and Helanca.

Ban-Lon, 1962

"'Ban-Lon' and 'Helanca' are both stretch yarns made from specially processed Nylon which becomes soft and bulky.

"They can be used on their own but they also blend very well with wool and other fibres.

"Used for stretch pants, socks, underwear, swimwear, jersey fabrics and knitwear.  Have all the easy-care quality plus super-fit."
