Spandex Super Stretch Yarn on cones for machine knitting. Spandex, also known as elastane, is often sold under the trademark of Lycra, but this is from a different manufacturer, based in the UK.
This is the strongest of our stretch yarns, which can be partnered with any other yarn of a similar colour to add memory and stretch to the knitted fabric, which can be helpful for collars and cuffs.
It can also be knitted on its own to create body-hugging stretch fabrics, making it a perfect yarn for sportswear and performance garments.
Sample photos show three or four ends knitted together, and the Spandex Super Stretch knitted with Alpaca Yarn, and striped with Melange Yarn.
Colours are photographic representations only. Please see our Terms & Conditions for a note on colour and weights.
