Cotton-Spandex blend fabric is a soft, breathable textile that combines the natural comfort of cotton with the stretch and recovery of spandex (also called elastane or Lycra). Typically, cotton makes up the majority of the fabric (around 95–98%), while spandex is added in small amounts (2–5%) to give the fabric elasticity. The result is a fabric that feels natural and soft while offering flexibility and a snug fit.
