Knitted Elastic

Sew-On Knitted Elastic For Cuffs, Waistbands, Leg Bands, And More.

SSoft, flexible Knitted Elastic is an excellent choice for a variety of sewing applications, including leg bands, sleeve cuffs, pajama waistbands, and more. Unlike other styles of elastic, Knitted Elastic doesn’t narrow when stretched and can be sewn through directly without losing its stretch. Because of this, Knitted Elastic is a great choice for applications where the elastic is used on the outside of a garment and comes into contact with the skin. Knitted Elastic is a soft, lighter-weight style of elastic, best for light to medium-weight fabrics. We also offer Non-Roll Knitted Elastic, a style of knit elastic that's a bit stiffer and great for waistbands. Knitted Elastic is available in a wide variety of sizes–shop them all right here at WAWAK.
