Hi,

Looking for some decent spandex suppliers in the UK. Needs to be some good quality, concealed when stretched etc. Cant seem to find many places that will do it in the width I want.

Thanks

Well, we don't call it spandex in the UK. It's called Lycra in the UK. There are plenty of online suppliers for Lycra. What width are you looking for?

Thought Spandex and Lycra were two different materials. Doesn't spandex stretch all directions and Lycra only stretches one way?

There is no difference between the 2. They are one and the same:

People get confused with what Lycra is and how it differs with Spandex. They haphazardly use one term when in fact the other term is the most suited. But how do you know which is which? Well, to make it simple Lycra and Spandex is one and the same.

Does it take a special technique to put a hem on Spandex ?
