Where does Elastane and Cotton come from???

Elastane and Cotton originally started in the Old World. The Old World is Europe, Asia, Africa and the places close to it. People there started to trade with the New World. The New World is know a days. There they started making clothes and that's how people make clothes with. Elastane and Cotton are a material used to make clothes and other things.

a plant?

Cotton comes from a tree/plant. I don't know what the other thing is. :-\

Elastane
Elastane is another name for spandex - Elastane is unique due to its molecular structure. Put simply, it is made up of a tangle of soft segments bonded to rigid segments. When tension is applied the soft segments straighten out up to seven times their original length, but elastane's important selling point is that when the tension is released the fibre will immediately return to the exact same shape and length it was before. No other fibre will do this - most of us at some point will have experienced the disappointment of an acrylic jumper that becomes baggy and shapeless after only a few wears. But if as little as 2% elastane is added to the fabric then the garment can move with the wearer's body and always retain its original shape. Another vital property of elastane is that it will always be undetectable. The fabric will always look and feel like the fibre or blend that is used alongside the elastane, as the elastane fibres themselves are sheathed with another fibre, usually the fibre that makes up the bulk of the rest of the garment.



and cotton is from a plant

Elastane does NOT come from a plant. It is a synthetic (or fake) fiber and is the same thing as spandex. Cotton however comes from a plant that we make crops out of and harvest.

Somewhere deep in the heart of Texas!!!
