Care Instructions

1. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle. Turn garments inside out.
2. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. High heat degrades spandex over time.
3. No bleach. Use mild detergent to preserve stretch recovery.
4. Do not iron directly on spandex — use a press cloth on low heat if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 4-way stretch?

4-way stretch means the fabric stretches both horizontally and vertically, then recovers to its original shape. This makes it ideal for fitted garments that need to move with the body — leggings, fitted tops, and activewear.

Is 10oz too heavy for t-shirts?

No. 10oz cotton spandex jersey has a substantial feel without being stiff. It provides good structure for fitted t-shirts, prevents see-through issues, and drapes well. Lighter 6-8oz options exist for very lightweight tops.

Does cotton spandex shrink?

The cotton component can shrink 2-3% on the first wash. Pre-wash before cutting. Always wash cold and dry low to preserve the spandex recovery — high heat permanently damages elastane fibers.

Can I use this for swimwear?

Cotton spandex is not recommended for swimwear — cotton absorbs water and dries slowly. For swimwear, use our nylon spandex fabric which is chlorine-resistant and quick-drying.
