Item#1266 - Regular Weight Nylon Lycra Color Swatch Set
Color accuracy will vary - if color is important, please order the swatch set.

The terms Lycra® and Spandex refer to the same elastic fiber. Lycra® is Dupont's trade name for Spandex and it has become commonly used to refer to many stretch knits containing Spandex.

This swatch set includes Spandex, Supplex and Hi Tech Supplex Lycra® in solid colors. They are considered Tricot knits, that is, having equal stretch in both lengthwise and crosswise directions. However, because Tricot knits may vary, it is important to determine if there is a direction of greater stretch and have that greater stretch go around your body, legs and arms. The lengthwise grain (selvage) runs the 5" length of the samples in this swatch set.


Spandex Solids Tricot Knits are usually smooth, shiny and very stretchy. Use for tights leotards, swimsuits, active wear, trim for socks and Polartec garments.
"Matte" refers to the flat, non shiny finish on some of our Spandex Solids. Matte finish Spandex Solids are smooth and stretchy, but not shiny.
