Nylon Spandex Buying Guide
Which nylon spandex should I choose?
Start with the finish. Shiny Milliskin has a soft sheen that reads well on stage and in swimwear, while Matte Milliskin gives a flat, clean look that cosplayers and activewear makers prefer. For a brushed, peach-skin hand pick Moleskin or Sueded Tricot, and for heavier, more compressive garments look at Regular Spandex.
Best uses
Leotards, dance and gymnastics wear, leggings, swimsuits, bodysuits, cheer uniforms and costume bases. The smooth face also takes heat-transfer vinyl and rhinestones well.
Ordering tips
Every color is sold by the yard with a 1-yard minimum, and wholesale pricing is available for production runs. Colors vary between dye lots and screens, so order a free sample before you cut a large order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nylon spandex fabric used for?
Nylon spandex (Milliskin and Lycra) is the go-to knit for dancewear, swimwear, leotards, leggings and activewear thanks to its smooth surface, opacity and strong four-way stretch and recovery.
Is nylon spandex good for swimwear?
Yes. Nylon spandex holds color and offers excellent stretch recovery. For heavy chlorine exposure, a polyester or poly-spandex blend will last longer.
What is the difference between matte and shiny Milliskin?
Both share the same nylon-spandex base. Shiny Milliskin has a subtle sheen for stage and swimwear, while matte Milliskin has a flat finish popular for cosplay and everyday garments.
How do I care for nylon spandex?
Hand or gentle machine wash in cold water with mild detergent, no bleach or fabric softener, and lay flat or hang to dry. Heat breaks down the spandex fiber.
Do you sell nylon spandex wholesale?
Yes. Stretch House offers wholesale and retail pricing by the yard, with 300 plus colors in stock and worldwide shipping from our NYC warehouse.
