The reflective side faces out through the stitch, so the fabric reads as grey in daylight and lights up under a headlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere a single face is enough\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the yarn is laid flat or worked so one face stays outward, a single-face build gives more brightness per millimetre than a double-face one. It stops being enough the moment the structure is open or seen from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to confirm before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e made to order from ≥0.5 mm - give the cord or trim size you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist and construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e determines how much reflective face stays visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e state whether the yarn is exposed or enclosed; it decides whether a backing is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflective layer:\u003c\/strong\u003e silver or high reflective tape, chosen against the brightness you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stated figure is over 250 cd\/(lx·m²), below the 330 cd\/(lx·m²) floor, and a yarn is a narrow-format element rather than a retroreflective material assessed on its own. Treat it as a design component: it improves visibility, it does not carry a 20471 claim by itself. Confirm the measured value at the stitch density and wash cycle you will specify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the finished article has to carry an EN ISO 20471 or ANSI\/ISEA 107 claim, say so before the order: the grade and the evidence are chosen together, and changing either afterwards means a new build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated builds: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/reflective-thread-for-embroidery\"\u003eReflective Thread for Knitting or Embroidery\u003c\/a\u003e.
