Overview
A lightweight, stretchy tricot knit with excellent recovery, this Lycra fabric is perfect for form-fitting, performance-driven garments. It’s smooth, sleek, and designed to move with the body — ideal for swimwear, sportswear, or activewear that requires both comfort and durability.
Printed using sublimation, it delivers vibrant, detailed colours that bond permanently to the polyester fibers without compromising stretch or softness.
