STRETCH FABRICS 552

Lycra is 80% Polyester, which means it is an artificial fabric, extremely durable and easy to maintain. Strong chemical fibers mean that the material does not tear or shrink. Polyester with admixtures requires special treatment and does not like hot water. All manufacturers of such materials recommend only dry cleaning. Washing clothes or other polyester products in hot water is not recommended because it can discolor and change its properties. After such a treatment, the fabric may lose its natural appearance, may dye and will crease very easily. Washing dance items in a manner inconsistent with washing regulations will void the warranty and make it impossible to submit a complaint.

Lycra composition: 80% Polyester, 20% Elastane
Width: 150cm

Lycra can vary in thickness: the most commonly used is 170g/m2, our offer also includes thick lycra 230g/m2
Thickness affects the transparency of lycra after stretching. Lycra 230 is less transparent.

Additionally, we have matte lycra and with a slight shine lycra lustre

Different types of materials in one color may differ slightly, this is due to differences in composition and production method. We still take care to ensure that these differences are minimal, almost imperceptible, which is why we have divided all colors into over 100 shades. For this reason, you will find e.g. RED WIKA and RED CHRISANNE CLOVER. These 2 RED colors are rather the same, but we suggest placing an order in one shade. Of course, mixing these shades on the dance floor or stage is imperceptible.

WIKA regulations do not provide for the return of cut materials, therefore we suggest purchasing material samples so that the placed order is not a lottery but a thoughtful choice.

In the CATALOGS category you can order entire colour sets, i.e. materials and tailoring accessories in one colour, e.g. APPLE GREEN, FOREST GREEN CHRISANE CLOVER, or entire material groups, e.g. LYCRA, STRETCH NET, etc. When ordering single samples, you can place an individual order for the desired colour, material types or tailoring accessories.
