Fiber Content & Weave

If you’re planning to buy an
umbiella with some ot youi gift
money, remembei there is a chf
feience in how waterproof the
umbrella will be, says Mi s Ruth
i Ann Wilson, extension clothing
specialist of The Pennsylvania
State University.
( Only 100 per cent vinyl plastic
is 100 per cent wateipioof Bub
vinyl plastic is fi agile and easily
damaged by heat and sharp ob
jects, so it may not be the best
choice foi you
Probably the most populai and
serviceable umbrellas aie those
made of nylon 01 acetate fibers.
Silk, cotton, iayon, and plastic
aie also used Read the label to
be sine of the fiber content be
fore you buy
But moie than fibei content is
important reminds Mis Wilson.
The weave ot the fibei is e\en
more impoitant it you intend to
stay diy undei youi umbiella.
Acetate and nj lon must be tight-
K wo\en because the thieads
don’t expand when wet Cotton
and silk will expand so the
threads should be close enough
tcgethei to hold the fust di.ps
out Most fibeis today aie heat

Mis Wilson advises you to
hold the umbrella up to the light,
and look thiough Closelv woven
fabuc is one of the best buying
cues foi an umbiella that will
