Purple 4-Way Stretch Elastane – 152cm / 60" Wide

This is a vibrant purple stretch fabric with a 4-way stretch, which means it stretches both across the width and along the length. It has a smooth surface, a comfortable amount of give, and good recovery, making it ideal for projects that need flexibility and movement.

Because of the 4-way stretch, this fabric is a great choice for fitted garments, activewear, dancewear, costumes and performance pieces. It’s the sort of fabric that moves with you rather than against you.
