What is stretch fabric?
Stretch fabric is a type of textile often made from synthetic fibres such as spandex or elastane. It is woven from a non-stretch yarn and a stretch yarn, usually with an elastomer fiber content of 2-3%. Manufacturers use textured elastane yarn. Stretch fabrics are extensible, folding and responsive to body movements without constraining their fit, which preserves their shape and appearance.
