Stretch Cotton, Silk, Alpaca, Wool
Spandex fiber is manufactured in USA by DuPont™, and called Lycra. It was invented in 1959 by DuPont chemist Joseph Shivers. Lycra has excellent stretch and recovery properties (it can be stretched over 500% without breaking), can be stretched repeatedly and still recover it's original length. It is more durable than rubber, soft, smooth and supple. Even more: it is resistant to body oils, perspiration, lotions or detergents, has no static or pilling problems. Spandex produced in Europe is called Elastane.
