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.
Weight
Swad Lycra knits can vary in weight from lightweight jersey fabrics to heavier sweater knits. Choose a weight appropriate for your project.
Activewear
Lycra is a brand name for elastane, a synthetic fiber known for its excellent stretch and recovery.
Swimwear
The combination of comfort and stretch makes Swad lycra fabrics suitable for swimwear such as bikinis, swimsuits, and boardshorts.
Dresses and Skirts
Knit fabrics with lycra can be used for dresses and skirts that drape nicely and move with the body.
Tops
T-shirts, tank tops, and other casual tops can be made from Swad lycra knit fabrics for a comfortable and flattering fit.
Comfort and Flexibility
Suede Lycra knits offer a soft, drapey feel that allows for a wide range of motion, ideal for workouts and active lifestyles.
Breathability
This allows air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you cool during exercise.
Lightweight
Fabrics are generally lighter than woven materials, making them ideal for activewear and warm-weather clothing.
