Lycra Sportwear Fabric Watercolour Lilac

Let your creativity flow with this beautiful Lycra sportwear fabric in watercolour lilac. The subtle print blends soft lilac tones together for a dreamy, artistic look. This knitted sports lycra has a smooth, matte finish, a weight of 200 g/m², and a comfortable blend of 82% polyester and 18% elastane for excellent wearability and freedom of movement.

Perfect for activewear and swimwear

Thanks to its bi-stretch quality, this fabric stretches both lengthways and widthways, so it fits close to the body without feeling restrictive. That makes it ideal for sewing fitted garments that move with you. The polyester and elastane mix also makes it quick-drying and shape-retaining. As an extra plus, it carries both GRS and OEKO-TEX® certification, so you can make a responsible choice for your sewing projects.

With a TVI softness of 4/5, this fabric has a soft drape but still offers enough body and support for garments that need a little structure. It is not a thin, fluttery fabric, but a quality Lycra that works wonderfully for leggings, sport tops, dance or gym wear, and even a full swimwear set. A great choice if you are looking for dressmaking fabric with performance and comfort built in.
