Premium Nylon Lycra Fabric | 4-Way Stretch Spandex (150cm Wide)

Unlock ultimate freedom of movement with our premium Nylon Lycra 4-Way Stretch Fabric. Composed of a high-quality blend of 85% Nylon and 15% Spandex, this fabric offers superior durability, a silky-smooth touch, and excellent shape retention compared to standard polyester alternatives.

Whether you are sewing high-performance swimwear, professional dance costumes, or comfortable leggings, this fabric stretches in all directions (up-down and left-right) and snaps back to its original shape without sagging.

Why Choose Nylon Spandex Over Polyester?

• Superior Feel: Nylon has a smoother, colder, and more “luxurious” feel against the skin.

• Better Recovery: The high 15% Spandex content ensures the fabric doesn’t go “baggy” at the knees or elbows after wear.

• Vibrant Colour: Nylon fibers hold dye exceptionally well, ensuring your Royal Blues, Reds, and Purples stay bright wash after wash.

Ideal Uses

• Swimwear: Quick-drying and fits like a second skin—perfect for bikinis and swimming costumes.

• Dance & Gymnastics: The 4-way stretch allows for splits, high kicks, and tumbles without restricting movement.

• Activewear: Ideal for squat-proof leggings, sports bras, and cycling shorts.

• Fashion: Great for bodycon dresses and skirts that require a figure-hugging drape.
