Tejidos de punto con spandex

Spandex y Lycra son términos que a menudo se usan indistintamente para referirse a una fibra sintética elástica creada durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial debido a la demanda de algo similar al caucho, ya que el caucho se utilizaba principalmente para fines bélicos. La palabra "spandex" se creó reorganizando la palabra "expands" (expande), lo que tiene mucho sentido, ya que es conocido por su impecable elasticidad. El spandex se suele mezclar con otras fibras para mejorar su flexibilidad, lo que lo hace perfecto para ropa deportiva, leggings o incluso para disfraces. Añade elasticidad a tu estilo con la selección de spandex de Mood.

Why is it called Spandex?

The word "spandex” was created by rearranging the word "expands,” which makes a lot of sense as it is known for its impeccable stretch. 

What Projects Are Best for Spandex Fabric?

Because it is so stretchy, spandex fabric is a top choice for activewear, such as workout clothes, bike shorts, and leggings. It is also ideal for swimsuits and undergarments.

How Breathable is Spandex?

Spandex fabric may be lightweight but is not a very breathable fabric. However, it is very good at moisture-wicking and does not show sweat!

How to Best Work with Spandex Fabric:

  • Be sure to pin the fabric inside the seam allowance before sewing
  • Test your stitching on scrap spandex fabric first
  • Gently stretch - but don't forcefully pull - the fabric as you sew

Supplies You May Need:

  • Sharp dressmakers' scissors
  • Chalk to mark the fabric
  • Ballpoint needle
  • Stretch thread
