Nylon Spandex Knitted Fabric With Grid 4-Way Stretch for Athletic Wear
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in Hengshui, Hebei, China. As a dedicated manufacturer of high-performance textiles, we are proud to present our Nylon Spandex Knitted Fabric with Grid 4-Way Stretch – a premium material engineered specifically for the demanding needs of athletic wear. This fabric combines the durability of nylon with the exceptional elasticity of spandex, featuring a unique grid structure that enhances breathability and moisture management. Our fabric is designed to support athletes in every movement, providing unrestricted flexibility and long-lasting comfort during intense training sessions. Whether you're producing compression tops, leggings, sports bras, or performance shorts, this fabric delivers the functional properties that modern sportswear requires.
The 4-way stretch capability ensures that the fabric moves with the body in all directions, offering a full range of motion without sagging or losing shape. The grid pattern not only adds a sleek aesthetic but also facilitates better air circulation, helping to regulate body temperature and wick away sweat. This fabric is ideal for high-intensity activities where moisture control and flexibility are paramount. Our manufacturing process ensures consistent quality, with precise knitting techniques that yield a smooth, uniform surface and excellent stitch stability. We offer customization options for weight, width, color, and even spandex content to meet your specific product requirements.

Key Features & Benefits:
- 4-Way Stretch Performance: The fabric stretches in both warp and weft directions, allowing athletes to move freely without restriction. It recovers its shape quickly, resisting sagging or bagging after repeated use.
- Grid Structure for Breathability: The open-mesh grid design promotes air circulation, reducing heat buildup during exercise. This helps keep the body cool and dry, enhancing comfort during long workouts.
- Moisture Management: The nylon component wicks moisture away from the skin to the fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly. This prevents sweat accumulation and reduces the risk of chafing.
- Durability & Shape Retention: Nylon offers excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance, making the fabric suitable for high-friction areas like underarms and knees. Spandex ensures lasting elasticity even after multiple washes.
- Soft Hand Feel: Despite its technical performance, the fabric has a smooth, soft texture that feels comfortable against the skin. It is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
- Customizable Options: We can adjust the weight, width, color, spandex ratio, and even the grid pattern size to meet your design specifications. Minimum order quantity is flexible for bulk orders.
Technical Specifications (Detailed): Our fabric is produced using high-speed circular knitting machines with precise tension control. The grid pattern is formed by alternating small and large loops, creating a three-dimensional texture that enhances both aesthetics and function. Below are additional technical aspects:
- Fabric Construction: Single jersey knit with inlaid spandex yarn for elasticity. The grid motif is integrated during the knitting process, not added as a separate layer.
- Finished Weight: Typically 200 g/m² for standard athletic wear, but we can produce lighter or heavier versions (150-250 g/m²) depending on the intended use (e.g., lightweight for yoga, heavier for compression).
- Stretch Ratio: Approximately 150-200% in both directions. The recovery rate is over 95% after 5 minutes of relaxation.
- Color Fastness: Dyeing is performed with reactive dyes for nylon, achieving grade 4-5 for washing and rubbing fastness (ISO 105-C06).
- Shrinkage: Less than 3% after industrial washing at 40°C. Pre-shrinking treatment is applied to ensure dimensional stability.
Ideal Applications: This fabric is specifically designed for the following athletic wear products:
- Compression tops and leggings
- Sports bras and crop tops
- Running shorts and tights
- Cycling jerseys and base layers
- Yoga pants and dancewear
- Gym apparel (tanks, hoodies, track suits)
- Outdoor performance wear (hiking, climbing)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this fabric suitable for high-compression sportswear?
