Yes, Lincraft offers a selection of our stretch fabrics by the yard, allowing you to purchase the exact amount you need for your projects. This is a convenient option for both small and large sewing endeavours.

What is the difference between knit and stretch fabrics?

While many knit fabrics have inherent stretch, not all stretch fabrics are knits. Knit fabrics are made by interlocking loops of yarn, giving them flexibility. Stretch fabrics, on the other hand, are defined by their ability to stretch, often achieved through the fibre content (like elastane or spandex) or the weave structure, and can include both knits and some woven fabrics.

Are your stretch fabrics suitable for activewear?

Absolutely. We stock a range of performance-oriented stretch fabrics, such as nylon lycra spandex fabric and polyester blends, which are designed for activewear. These materials offer excellent moisture-wicking properties, breathability, and four-way stretch for maximum comfort and durability during physical activity.

Where can I buy elastic fabric material in Australia?

You can find a great selection of elastic fabric material and other stretchable fabric options at Lincraft stores across Australia and online. We are a leading supplier for quality fabrics, making it easy to source what you need for your sewing projects.
