Nylon Spandex Silver Ion Yarn Four-Way Stretch Recovery Ponte Roma Knit is a firm ponte roma double knit developed for Running Tops where low weight with fast moisture transport decides whether a style succeeds. The base is nylon spandex with silver ion filament, which gives antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering. The result is a fabric that delivers Four-Way Stretch Recovery in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
Because a firm ponte roma double knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Performance features
- Four-Way Stretch Recovery: extends in both directions and returns without bagging, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: antibacterial performance that survives repeated home laundering.
- Construction benefit: a clean, structured surface with enough hold for tailored athleisure.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
Used for Running Tops and for the accessories around them. low weight with fast moisture transport is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
