Lycra cotton is 95% or 97% cotton and 5% or 3% Lycra. Lycra is the trade name of Invista, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont (acquired by Koch Industrial Group for $4.4 billion in 2004). Lycra has become synonymous with almost all spandex yarns because of its monopoly position in spandex field.
Lycra is different from traditional elastic fiber, its extensibility can reach 500% and it can be restored to its original state. In other words, this kind of fiber is very easy to stretch, but after recovery, it can cling to the surface of human body and has little binding force on human body. Lycra fiber can be matched with any fabric, including wool, linen, silk and cotton, which increases the close-fitting, elastic, relaxed and natural characteristics of the fabric and makes it feel more flexible when moving. And Lycra is different from most spandex yarns. It has a special chemical structure, and it will not grow mildew in a hot and humid closed space after being wetted.

Lycra can stretch 4 to 7 times freely, and will soon return to its original length after the external force is released. It cannot be used alone, but it can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fiber. It does not change the appearance of the fabric, and it is an invisible fiber, which can greatly improve the performance of the fabric. Lycra has outstanding ductility. For knitwear, its multidirectional extension is determined by the fabric itself, and Lycra only brings elasticity after stretching. Woven fabrics are extensible only in the direction of weaving into lycra, such as warp knitting (straight direction) or weft knitting (horizontal direction).
Pants benefit from warp elasticity, and the two-way elastic woven fabric containing Lycra provides great comfort and two-way free movement. Therefore, when Lycra is added to women's ready-made clothes such as trousers and coats, the wrinkles can be easily recovered automatically, and the clothes are more elegant and not easy to deform, so they are elastic and feel free and novel. Even if you make a rigorous suit, coat, etc. There is no sense of urgency and bondage. Add a little lycra to sweaters, underwear, fitness pants and other knitwear, which fits comfortably and can be stretched freely and moved with you.
Lycra is called "friendly" fiber, not only because it can be completely blended with natural and man-made fibers, but also because it can increase the comfort, corset, freedom of movement and service life of fabrics or clothes. Lycra has a wide range of applications, which can add extra comfort to all kinds of clothing, including underwear, custom-made coats, suits, skirts, pants, knitwear and so on.
It greatly improves the handle, drape and wrinkle recovery ability of the fabric, improves the comfort and fit of all kinds of clothing, and makes all kinds of clothing show new vitality. Lycra cotton has been applied in the field of fitness clothing, and the typical representative is Lycra cotton fitness yoga clothing, which is not only fashionable and comfortable to wear, but also combines the above advantages of Lycra cotton, and is increasingly loved by the majority of fitness enthusiasts.
