flat yarn

Do you mean like a ribbon yarn? I have only ever made scarves out of it, but there are patterns for tops as well. SOme people combine it with other yarns for different effects. HTH Higs, Katherine

Stella, if referring to my post below inquiring about it, as for it's "actually" usage I'm not sure. I myself am a fireworks hobbyist and in our hobby it's used to make a type of fuse called black match. The yarn is basically coated with a slurry of Black Powder and allowed to dry. The hobbyist normally uses just a single strand of like 8 ply cotton yarn. In the Fireworks industry though flat twine is used because it allows for more Black Powder to stick to the yarn for a more consistent fire transfer, because as with most things consistency is key. And that in a nut shell is what I want to use it for, though as with you I would like to know what it is actually used for, just for curiosities sake if nothing else.
