Champagne Nylon Spandex Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide 4-Way Stretch

Our review of this Champagne nylon spandex fabric finds it best suited for makers who need a smooth, versatile stretch material for garments and decor. The single biggest reason to buy is its balanced 82% nylon and 18% spandex knit that delivers reliable 4-way stretch and a soft hand suitable for swimwear, dancewear, leggings, and lightweight tablecloths. It is presented as a 60in wide, 210 GSM tricot that moves with the body while remaining breathable enough for active use.

Key Features

• Smooth nylon spandex: The tricot weave feels slippery and soft, useful where a close, comfortable fit is needed against skin for swimsuits and bodysuits.
• 4-way stretch: The fabric stretches in both directions so garments track with motion and offer freedom for activewear and yoga pants.
• Breathable construction: Air circulates through the knit, helping to reduce overheating during workouts and keeping wearers more comfortable.
• Durable blend: At 82% nylon and 18% spandex, the material resists pilling and fading when cared for by hand washing and line drying out of direct sun.
• Wide and available by yard: Offered in a 58/60in width and continuous yard lengths, it suits both small sewing projects and longer runs for costumes or covers.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for hobby sewers, costume makers, and small apparel brands creating swimwear and activewear that require stretch and a smooth finish. Its lightweight, breathable feel makes it a good choice for yoga pants, leggings, and dancewear that need to follow body movement without bulk.

Shoppers who need a heavier or structured fabric, or those who require totally colorfast industrial wash performance, should look elsewhere; one customer reported some bleeding during washing and the material is described as lightweight rather than heavy-duty.
