Why 95% cotton 5% spandex jersey fabric is so popular?

Cotton jersey fabric is a type of knitted fabric made of cotton fiber. Jersey fabrics can be named according to different materials, such as bamboo jersey, which is made of bamboo fiber.
Cotton knitted fabrics are knitted with interlaced loops of yarn to give them elasticity. Usually it has a V-shaped pattern on the front and a smooth other side. A knit jersey fabric is soft and smooth to the skin. Otherwise, cotton is a very absorbent and breathable fiber. This is why dreamydeer chose cotton knitted jersey fabrics for children and babies.

Cotton jersey can be 100% cotton or cotton blends. 95% cotton mixed with 5% spandex / lycra is one of the most popular types of cotton jersey because spandex can improve the stretch and recovery of the fabric. The fact that spandex is a stretch fiber only adds a small amount to the fabric to give it a good stretch. The general denim woven fabric with 2%-3% spandex will have a excellent elasticity while general knitted fabrics can be added up to about 5% and high stretch swimsuit or yoga fabric can be added to about 10%. So 95% cotton with 5% spandex can maximize the characteristics of cotton and the elasticity of the fabric.This ratio is a very scientific ratio that has been proven over time.
