Tyvek

Many people ask us about working with Tyvek. Although in the same family as the tyvek found on the outside of houses, the tyvek paper used by fibre artists is not as heavy. Tyvek fabric also comes in a variety of weights, but a medium weight product is sufficient for most applications. We recommend applying color to both sides of the piece as the heat process will cause the tyvek to distort and shrink and you may prefer one side over the other.
