Cotton Lycra Jersey
Cotton lycra fabric is the most popular type of knit fabric at KnitFabric.com, and for good reason. This versatile fabric combines the breathability of natural cotton with the stretch and recovery of lycra (spandex), making it perfect for everything from leggings and t-shirts to dresses and activewear. With 4-way stretch and a soft hand, cotton lycra jersey is comfortable to wear and easy to sew, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced sewers. Our cotton lycra fabric collection features hundreds of prints and solids in various weights and lycra percentages. Most of our fabrics are 95% cotton and 5% lycra, providing excellent stretch recovery while maintaining the breathable comfort of cotton. The edges will curl toward the right side when cut and stretched, which is normal for this fabric type.
