Stretch

This stretch fabric is a fine technical knit composed of 80% nylon and 20% elastane, woven to 160 g/m² across a 150 cm width — lightweight yet dense enough to stay fully opaque. Its defining quality is exceptional 4-way recovery, with roughly 40% give in the warp and 60% in the weft, paired with a soft, body-following drape that moulds without sagging. The high elastane loading makes it a natural fit for swimwear and lingerie, as well as close-fitting casual and apparel pieces where compression, return, and second-skin comfort matter most. Care is undemanding: machine wash at 30°C, no bleach, no iron, dry flat, with shrinkage kept to ≤3%. Produced in China and held as a staple stretch base, it gives buyers a reliable foundation for foundation garments and performance-leaning collections.
