Royal Blue Lycra Fabric | Textielstad

Choose this royal blue lycra fabric when you want a smooth, reliable dressmaking fabric for activewear or swimwear. This knitted fabric has a softly lustrous finish that gives the deep, plain colour a rich look, while the bi-stretch quality offers comfortable movement and an excellent fit. With a weight of 184 gsm and a width of 152 cm, it is a practical fabric by the metre for durable, well-fitting makes.

Comfort, stretch and shape retention

The bi-stretch construction means the fabric stretches in both directions and keeps its shape well. It drapes smoothly and feels soft against the skin, making it ideal when you need a close fit that still feels comfortable to wear and easy to sew. The fibre blend of 82% nylon and 18% spandex adds support and resilience, so your finished garment moves with you.

This cotton fabric is not the right term here, but this lycra is an excellent choice for swimwear, sportswear, gymnastics outfits and dancewear. Think of a sleek swimsuit, flexible leggings for the gym, or a striking leotard for performance wear. It is a versatile fabric for confident, sporty sewing projects.
