8H Satin Carbon Fiber

#1

Hey guys, I (think) I got a good deal on some discounted 8 harness 375g 3k satin weave carbon.

I got a 20 meter roll at ca. 23$ per meter/yard. I have not had any of this fabric before, could you tell me if this was a good deal?

Also, I have heard it has very good drape characteristics, not sure about the optics, but I am planning to use it as backing layers to 2x2 twill weave and such.

cheers

I use quite a lot of 8HS and really like it, primarily for backing behind 2x2. It is a very drapable and yet dense weave which allows me to use one layer of 8HS in place of 2 layers of 6oz 2x2. Plus I think it usually runs a bit more per yard than 2x2 so seems like a good price too.
