Nylon Spandex Silver Ion Yarn Four-Way Stretch Recovery Ponte Roma Knit combines nylon spandex with silver ion filament with a Ponte Roma Knit construction. It is aimed at Sports Bras that require controlled support and soft contact at the underband, and the reason is straightforward: antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering, so Four-Way Stretch Recovery.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a firm ponte roma double knit means a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure, and that structure is what allows the fabric to extends in both directions and returns without bagging under the conditions Sports Bras actually face.

Recommended applications
The first choice for Sports Bras, where controlled support and soft contact at the underband is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
