Mark exactly where it belongs
Send a sketch showing which rows, stripes or artwork sections should contain reflective yarn. Include a normal-light reference for the overall colourway so that the hat is designed for everyday appearance as well as the intended light response.
The selected yarn must work with the base yarn, knit structure and desired stretch. Review that combination through a swatch or finished sample before treating the design as ready for bulk.
Record the viewing conditions
| View | What to record |
|---|---|
| Ordinary light | The colour, texture and visibility of the reflective detail |
| Directed light | Light source, camera or observer position and distance |
| Finished sample | Same sample and placement in both views |
| Safety requirement | The specific intended use and any applicable testing requirement |
