Serious sewers and swimwear makers, this Dritz cotton braided elastic is an absolute must-have for your sewing supplies! This isn't your ordinary elastic - it's specifically designed for swimwear and activewear, measuring 1/4 inch wide and coming in a massive 75-yard roll that will last you through countless projects. The cotton braided construction has these horizontal ribs that provide firm support while being lightweight and comfortable against the skin. What makes it perfect for swimwear is its resistance to chlorine, salt water, and even suntan oil - so your creations will hold up season after season without deteriorating. I've used this elastic for waistbands, leg bands, sleeves, and necklines on swimsuits, and it maintains its stretch and recovery beautifully. The natural color blends well with most fabrics, and you can stitch directly through it without issues. It's machine washable and can handle temperatures up to 200 degrees F, though dry cleaning isn't recommended. The elastic narrows slightly when stretched, which gives you a clean, professional finish on your garments. Whether you're making custom swimwear, athletic wear, or just need durable elastic for everyday clothing projects, this Dritz elastic delivers consistent quality and performance. Having 75 yards means you'll always have enough on hand for multiple projects, and the quality is so reliable that it's become my go-to elastic for anything that needs to withstand moisture and frequent washing!
