Now for the latest in our series from Vanity Fair about "Man Made Fibres". This time it's Crimpline! It was launched in 1959 and (judging by the advertisements in my collection) was still comparatively rare in 1962. It seems to have been most popular from the mid-sixties through to the early seventies when it was gradually replaced by newer polyester fibres.

"'Crimplene'. A Terylene yarn processed specially for knitting.
'Crimplene' is a synthetic yarn with high bulk and low stretch suitable for knitting.
You find it in jersey garments, knitted sweaters and cardigans, and knitting yarns. It launders easily and never loses its shape."
