Fabric description

Fresh Mint Green Econyl fabric is ideal sports lycra fabric for sewing swimwear, sportswear, dancewear and gymnastics costumes.

This sustainable swimwear fabric is made from regenerated nylon fiber, it is chlorine resistant, sun cream and oil resistant as well as protects from UV. The fabric retains its shape and most importantly is 100% squat proof as it is dyed through.

Econyl fabric in Light is our lighter version of nylon fabric. If you are sewing swimwear with this stretchy fabric we would recommend either lining it with our econyl nylon lining or doubling up on the main swimwear fabric to give you all the support and coverage.

Eco credentials

Econyl is a fantastic regenerated nylon fiber made from discarded carpets and fishing nets that would otherwise end up in landfills. Developed by Aquafil, it not only helps reduce waste but also has a 90% lower impact on global warming compared to virgin materials, mainly because it uses much less water in its production. What a win for the planet!
