How suitable is Spandex Yarn in different fabric constructions?

Spandex Yarn is a highly elastic and ductile synthetic fiber that is often blended with other fibers to enhance fabric elasticity and comfort. In different fabric structures, Spandex Yarn has different applicability and effects. In knitted structures, Spandex Yarn is often used to increase the elasticity and extensibility of fabrics, making them more suitable for making close-fitting garments such as T-shirts, underwear and sportswear. Since the knitted structure itself is relatively soft, the elasticity of Spandex Yarn can be effectively integrated with the fibers to provide the wearer with a more comfortable wearing experience.
In woven structures, the main role of Spandex Yarn is to increase the stability of the fabric and its ability to maintain shape. The woven structure is tighter and stronger than the knitted structure, so the addition of Spandex Yarn can make the fabric more supportive and durable, suitable for making pants, skirts, jackets and other products that require stronger and more stable properties. In addition, in some special occasions, such as sporting goods, medical supplies and other fields, Spandex Yarn is also widely used in different fabric structures to meet the elasticity and comfort requirements of specific products.
When choosing to use Spandex Yarn, you need to consider the structure, use and required performance characteristics of the fabric. For example, for products that require more elasticity and comfort, such as sportswear, underwear, etc., a knitted structure is usually chosen, and Spandex Yarn is blended with fibers such as cotton and polyester to obtain a soft and comfortable touch and good elasticity. For products that require more support and stability, such as pants, jackets, etc., a woven structure is usually chosen, and Spandex Yarn is blended with fibers such as cotton and nylon to enhance the fabric's sturdiness and shape retention ability.
