You’ll get a cone (called cheese) with appr. 1200-1300 g of fiber.

Spandex or elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. There are several brand names for this fiber including Lycra, Elaspan, Acepora.

The brand I’m offering is Dorlastan (V550) from Germany.

Spandex fiber size is measured in den’s or dtex.

Den or denier is the mass in grams per 9000 meters, mostly used in the US and UK. Dtex or decitex is the mass in grams per 10,000 meters and a widely used measure in Canada and Continental Europe. The rule of the thumb: the higher Den/dtex, the thicker the fiber.
