Metallized yarns have become an integral part of fashion because they give extra sheen to garments and an inimitable appearance to fabrics, making them special yarns. However, because of repetitive washing and abrasions, the metallic part of the yarn in the fabric is removed and the fabric loses its brightness and bec…
