Knitted elastic retains shape and stays flat when stretched. It is a quality elastic for use with all types of fabrics. This light-weight, knitted elastic is similar to braided elastic but does not narrow when stretched. Can be used on the outside of garments (linen, lingerie, blouses, etc.) as well as in casings. It features a horizontal pull that stretches lengthwise. Machine wash only and do not dry clean. 78% Polyester / 22% Natural Laytex

Braided elastic is more eye-appealing and decorative. It can be used on the outside of garments (linen, lingerie, blouses, etc.) as well as in casings at the waistline, neckline, sleeve and leg bands. This light-weight elastic can be used with all types of fabrics.  Braided elastic is both washable and dry cleanable. Polyester/Rubber Blend

No Roll elastic maintains its width when stretched. Works well when pierced by needles so it is a good choice for sew-on application as well as in casings. No roll woven elastic tends to be firmer so can be used with heavier weight fabric and is great for keeping a waistband in place without rolling. It also is machine washable and dryable, but do not expose to temperatures that exceed 200 degrees. Polyester/Rubber Blend
