Hosiery with LYCRA® 3D technology contains LYCRA® fiber in every knitted course. This offers a number of advantages over hosiery in which elastane is knitted into every other course:

• Greater comfort and enhanced freedom of movement thanks to a more consistent level of compression over a range of body movements.
• A more uniform appearance and a softer, smoother hand.
• Increased garment durability.

Hosiery with LYCRA® 3D technology is typically steam-boarded for greater counter appeal. LYCRA® T178C fiber is specifically engineered for end-uses that require greater steam-settability than standard elastane and is the preferred yarn for LYCRA® 3D technology.
