Polyester lycra with a high percentage of elastic yarns, often made, up to 20%. By comparison, standard stretch fabrics are often 2 to 5% elastic yarn. In short, stands for fabrics with a high elastane content.

Lycra shines, often feels happy and is often used in fabrics that have to be very stretchy. It is often used in combination with viscose, cotton and polyester. Lycra is used in sportswear, swimwear and underwear, among other things.
