Fiber Content
Consider the intended use of the fabric. Cotton offers breathability and comfort, while synthetic fibers may provide moisture-wicking properties for activewear. Blends combine the benefits of different fibers.
Grip
Textures with high friction offer good grip, while smooth textures offer poor grip.

Nylon Lycra knits can vary in weight from lightweight jersey fabrics to heavier sweater knits. Choose a weight appropriate for your project.

Some furniture covers and curtains may utilize Nylon Lycra knits for a more comfortable fit and added durability.
