Spandex Covered Yarn
The spandex covered yarn produced by our company is a type of textile material. It is typically created by wrapping spandex fibers around the surface of other fibers, often cotton, polyester, nylon, etc., using a spinning machine. This process forms composite yarn, which is commonly used in shoe upper materials.

Feature
The advantages of YM THREAD ‘s spandex covered yarn
- Elasticity and Comfort: It offers excellent elasticity, allowing the shoe upper to snugly wrap around the foot, providing a great fit and comfort.
- Lightweight: It is extremely lightweight and does not add extra weight to the shoes, making them more comfortable to wear.
- Good Breathability: Spandex-coated heel counters typically have good breathability, promoting air circulation, reducing sweating, and odor issues.
- Durability: Spandex-coated heel counter materials often have high durability, withstanding friction and daily wear and tear, extending the lifespan of shoes.
- Shape Retention: Spandex-coated heel counters can maintain the shape of the shoe upper, preventing deformation or sagging, thus helping to preserve the appearance and performance of the shoes.
- Flexibility: The spandex-coated heel counter material is relatively flexible, allowing it to adapt to different design and style requirements, facilitating the production of various shoe styles.
- Customizability: Spandex-coated heel counters can be combined with other materials like leather, fabric, etc., to achieve different design effects and performance requirements, enhancing the flexibility of shoe design.

What is spandex covered yarn?
Spandex covered yarn, also known as lycra spandex yarn or elastic covered yarn, is a unique type of textile material that combines the elasticity of spandex yarn (also known as elastane or Lycra) with the strength and texture of other core yarn materials( 100% polyester or 100% nylon). This article will delve into the composition, manufacturing process, applications, and benefits of spandex covered yarn.
What is spandex bare yarn?
Spandex bare yarn, also referred to as elastane or elastic polyurethane fiber, is a synthetic elastic fiber highly valued in the textile and apparel industry due to its outstanding elasticity and versatility.
This fiber possesses exceptional stretchability, quickly bouncing back to its original form after being stretched, making it ideal for crafting form-fitting sportswear, swimwear, and other garments that require a close fit to the body’s contours.
Additionally, Spandex bare yarn is lightweight, comfortable, durable, and gentle on the skin. It can be blended with other fibers to impart various performance characteristics such as moisture-wicking and resistance to wear and tear.
The production process of Spandex bare yarn involves polymerization reactions and stretching techniques, offering a vital element of elasticity for a wide range of clothing designs and applications. As a result, it enjoys extensive use in the fashion and sports industries.
What is the difference between latex and spandex?
Latex and spandex are distinct materials used in clothing. Latex, derived from natural rubber, offers moderate elasticity and is used in items like swimwear. In contrast, spandex, a synthetic fiber, provides high elasticity and comfort, making it popular in sportswear and activewear. Spandex is more breathable, hypoallergenic, and versatile, while latex may require lubricants and can cause allergies in some individuals. The choice depends on specific clothing needs and wearer preferences.
