Lycra Red

Lycra Red is a beautifully smooth, lightly lustrous bi-stretch fabric by the metre for all your creative and sporty sewing projects. This quality combines 82% nylon with 18% spandex, giving it a practical weight of 184 g/m². The knitted structure and plain red colour give it a clean, vibrant look that is easy to work with and perfect when you want a reliable stretchy dressmaking fabric.

Made for active garments

Thanks to its excellent stretch in both directions, this fabric holds its shape well while moving comfortably with the body. It drapes smoothly and feels pleasant to wear, which makes it a great choice for swimwear, gymnastics wear and dancewear. If you are sewing fitted sports garments or other close-fitting pieces that need freedom of movement, this cotton fabric alternative in synthetic fibres is a practical and versatile option for your haberdashery cupboard.

Use it with a stretch needle and flexible thread for the best results. The 152 cm width gives you plenty of scope for cutting out sleek, body-skimming designs.

Care advice: wash at 30 degrees, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron hot, and steam only.
