Therefore, Lycra is called "friendly" fiber, not only because it can be thoroughly blended with natural and man-made fibers, but also can increase the comfort of the fabric or clothing, the sense of movement, freedom of movement and service life.

Lycra (LYCRA) is a kind of artificial elastic fiber invented and produced exclusively by DuPont. It can be freely stretched 4 to 7 times, and quickly returns to its original length after the external force is released. It cannot be used alone and can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fiber. It does not change the appearance of the fabric and is an invisible fiber that can greatly improve the performance of the fabric. Lycra has outstanding stretchability. For knitwear, its multi-directional extension is determined by the fabric itself, and Lycra brings only stretch and elasticity. Woven fabrics are only malleable in the direction of weaving into Lycra, such as warp knitting (straight line) or weft knitting (horizontal line). Trousers benefit from the elasticity of the longitude, while the two-way elastic woven fabrics with Lycra offer great comfort and freedom of movement in both directions. Therefore, adding Lycra to women's ready-to-wear garments such as trousers, coats, etc., folds can be easily and automatically regained, the clothes are more sloppy and not easily deformed, smart and comfortable, feel free to be new.

It greatly improves the fabric's feel, drapability and crease recovery ability, improves the comfort and fit of various kinds of clothing, and makes all kinds of clothing show new vitality, especially the Lycra developed jointly by DuPont and the International Wool Bureau. Plus wool blended material. It provides a brand-new concept for the textile industry in the late 20th century and the 21st century.

Such as wool + Lycra fabric is not only good elasticity, but also has a better fit shape, shape retention, drape and wearability after washing; cotton + Lycra not only has the advantages of cotton fiber comfort, breathability, but also take into account the cotton It does not have good elasticity and is not easily deformed, making the fabric more fit, fit, soft and comfortable. Lycra can add unique advantages to clothing: personal comfort, freedom of movement and long-term shape remain unchanged.
