Fabric Information - Bamboo Lycra

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners to maintain the fabric’s natural softness and elasticity.
- Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat to prevent shrinkage and maintain the fabric’s stretch and durability.
- Ironing: Use a low heat setting if ironing is needed. Steam or a pressing cloth can help avoid direct heat on the fabric.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkles and maintain the fabric’s integrity.
Use Instructions:
- Soft and Stretchy Projects: Perfect for making comfortable garments such as leggings, t-shirts, baby clothes, and activewear due to its soft feel, breathability, and excellent stretch.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean cuts. The fabric’s stretch may require careful handling to prevent distortion.
- Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch or zigzag stitch to accommodate the fabric’s elasticity. A walking foot can help manage the stretch and prevent puckering.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any sizing and allow for any initial shrinkage before cutting and sewing.
By following these care and use instructions, your bamboo lycra projects will retain their softness, stretch, and durability, making them ideal for creating comfortable, breathable, and versatile clothing items.
