Combed cotton and elastane a golden combination

A combination often encountered in the world of corporate and promotional clothing: combed cotton with elastane. You often come across this duo for a reason. On their own, they have unique properties and together, some of their advantages are enhanced. In this blog explained what is special about these separate materials and their combination.

Combed cotton Combed cotton is composed of long fibre cotton which gives it a very smooth surface. Why this is important? The fabric is so tight that it doesn't fluff. And what doesn't fluff is nice and soft and comfortable. By itself, clothes made of combed cotton are suitable for printing and embroidery. Combed ring-spun cotton is even softer and smoother. Ring-spun yarn is made soft and smooth by an innovative spinning process, whereby each fibre is straightened by an extra spool thread. This results in a softer, more refined fabric which greatly increases wearing comfort. The printing quality of the fabric also improves, the less uneven the fabric, the better it can be printed.

Elastane Elastane (also known by the brand names spandex or lycra) is a synthetic fibre with very high elasticity. When you put the material under tension, you can stretch it up to six times its own length. It is often mixed into other fabrics to make clothes more supple and elastic.

A pleasant collaboration Thanks to modern knitting techniques, elastane can now be proportionally incorporated into combed cotton.
