At Calico Laine we pride ourselves on stocking one of the best range of high quality zips available. In my entry today I am going to talk a little about the different types of zips that we offer. These include: Open End Zips: This is a zip that opens at the bottom (and sometimes the top) and they are ideal for jackets, coats and even cardigans. We also offer a range of different quality and weight open end zips. For example we stock a very heavy duty metal open zip. These are the largest zips we offer and are YKK size 8. Closed End Zips: Typically these zips are found in skirts, dresses and tops. An example of closed end zips are dress zips or concealed zips. My personal favourite in the closed end zips are the concealed, as once they have been fitted to your garment you can literally only see the zips pull. They offer a very neat finish. Continuous Zips: This zipping is  basically a zip that you buy by the metre. It is closed end and comes in two thickness's  It is ideal for tents or sofas. We stock this in both 3mm widths and 5mm widths. I hope you have enjoyed my short blog entry today and if you have any questions please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you, Until next time, Calico Laine
