The ribs run across the width. In other words, in the photo, which shows the ribs running horizontally, the selvedge is on the left and right side of the page. It has more stretch along the length. You could cut the fabric to have the ribs running either horizontally or vertically.

This poly-rayon-spandex bottom-weight double knit will become a staple of your work or travel wardrobe. It resembles wool jersey, but is machine washable. It would make great classic pants, jackets, dresses and skirts. It has enough stretch to be comfortable, but is not clingy. It has a dry and somewhat crisp hand. It's not super-heavy, so it would also work as a warm top or tunic for Fall-Winter.

OK, unlike the other double knits here, this one IS your 70's double knit! The interesting thing about this is that it was used to make Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader warm-up suits. Perfect for your cowboys fan! Try it for kids and dolls, too. Virtually wrinkle free.

The ribs run along the width of the fabric. It basically stretches in all directions, but a little more along the width. This is for casual fashion or light activewear -- it is not super stretchy or clingy - I would not use it for skintight applications, nor for bathing suits since it feels like it has cotton - it feels like cotton-poly-spandex or cotton-nylon-spandex.

This may not be technically slinky, since the ribs run along the width, while with slinky the ribs run along the length. However, it has many of the properties of slinky and can be used in the same manner. It has a dry hand and is wrinkle-free. Since it's on the heavier side, it would be especially nice for pants. It's yarn-dyed, rather than printed.

In these photos, the selvedge is running along the left & right sides. To get a better idea of the scale of the pattern, see the "click to enlarge" photo. However, in that photo the color is not quite accurate. The photos on page have better color. 

This ottoman has very slight ribs - you could use it instead of slinky if you wanted a sturdier and less stretchy fabric. It would make flattering pants and unstructured jackets, and doesn't wrinkle. The back is flat, and the front is ribbed, with a dry hand.

The ribs run across the width, and most of the stretch is along the length. Please note that it's 46" wide and priced accordingly.

The ribs run across the width. There is no stretch in this direction (the direction of the ribs). It is very stretchy along the length (perpendicular to the ribs). Please note that it's 48" wide and priced accordingly. Quantities are limited.

These blue hibiscus flowers and brown palm leaves are vibrant, but tasteful, on a strong and stretchy 5.8 oz. 4-way stretch nylon-lycra tricot. It would make a lovely bathing suit, dance costume, or resort wear. The print has a bit of a retro feel, and the fabric has great stretch and recovery.

This updated surf-inspired print in soft orange, brown and white will make great activewear or clubwear. If your pattern is OK for 4-way stretch, it would also make a cute skirt or dress. A crisp print that looks great, and feels silky.

Grey and Black Cheetah animal print on matte 4-way stretch fabric is great for activewear such as leotards, tennis wear, sports bras, and dance costumes. Since it's not shiny, it can be use for fashion also. It has a lot of detailed shading, and looks great with grey or black fabric.

*Extra-special Volume Discount* --- Buy 5 yards or more for $4 a yard. Yup, that's FOUR BUCKS for this beautful print.

Pink Foil Flowers - very cute and girly - Stretch Lycra. For your little girls, or just for those of us who still love girly things....

Deep Fuchsia fabric - hefty 4-way stretch. The photos don't do the color justice - the manufacturer calls it "Fuego Red" - it is between hot pink and red; not an orange red. I really have seen Fuchsias this color so I think that is the best way to describe it. The color flatters a wide range of skintones. Really wonderful fabric made by Fillattice of Italy.

Rust / Sienna Brown and black jungle cat print offers more interest than a typical tiger stripe. There are some swirls that evoke tiger stripes, but some cheetah and jaguar spots as well, so it's a little more sophisticated and abstract than a lot of animal prints. It would be great for a Lion King-type dance production, for swimwear, clubwear, etc.

Such a pretty, eye catching and flattering print for dance, skate, equestrian or workout wear. And bathing suits of course. The stripes run across the width of the fabric.

The retro western-inspired print is unusual for a 4-way stretch fabric, and it's an unsually nice 6 oz. tricot.

This is a tasteful but eyecatching floral print on a sturdy 4-way stretch matte fabric. This would be wonderful for activewear, clubwear or bathing suits.
