Barcelonetta Cotton-Spandex Fabric by the Yard — Navy, 1.8 m | 60" Wide, 95/5 Stretch Knit

Barcelonetta cotton spandex fabric is a lightweight, breathable 95% cotton / 5% spandex knit sold by the yard on a 60" wide roll for stretchy, everyday sewing projects.

This navy cotton-spandex blend combines natural softness with subtle recovery so garments move with you without losing shape. At roughly 10 oz, the cloth feels lightweight yet durable, making it suitable for garments that need comfort and a little give—think tees, leggings, casual dresses, and loungewear. The 60-inch roll width gives you generous cutting options and fewer seams when crafting wider pieces.

How much stretch and recovery can I expect from this fabric?

The 95% cotton and 5% spandex composition delivers moderate crosswise stretch and steady recovery, enough to contour and comfort without excessive sag. It returns toward its original shape after wear and wash cycles, provided you launder according to care instructions.

• Approximately 5–10% mechanical stretch across the grain for fitted garments.
• Good shape retention thanks to spandex fibre content.
• Stable lengthwise behavior—minimal vertical stretch reduces distortion.

What projects work best with this 60" wide navy cotton spandex fabric?

This fabric is ideal for everyday wardrobe staples that demand softness and mobility. Its lightweight 10 oz hand makes it great for layered pieces or garments worn close to the skin without adding bulk.

• Stretch tees, tank tops, and fitted shirts.
• Leggings, yoga pants, and lounge bottoms with comfortable recovery.
• Lightweight dresses and skirts that require drape and gentle structure.
• Children’s wear and sleepwear benefiting from breathable cotton content.

How should I care for Barcelonetta cotton spandex to keep it looking new?

To preserve stretch and colour, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid high-heat drying. Turn garments inside out and use mild detergent to reduce abrasion and fading over time.

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle; avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Tumble dry low or air dry flat to maintain shape and elasticity.
• If ironing is needed, use a low setting and press with a cloth to prevent shine.
