Almost every stretchy fabric has spandex in it. Bad idea. Spandex is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber, also called elastane, and sometimes trademarked as Lycra. The word “spandex” is an anagram of “expands.” The word “elastane” comes from “elastic urethane.” Spandex is made from at least 85% polyurethane, sourced from nonrenewable crude oil or natural gas.
