100% Organic Sugarcane Fiber Knitted Fabric

1. What is 100% sugarcane fiber knitted fabric for clothing?
It is a 180 GSM knit made from sugarcane‑based cellulosic fibre, supplied in natural white with an RFD (Ready for Dye) finish for apparel use. The fabric is fully plant‑origin, soft, and breathable, created for everyday tees, babywear, and comfort pieces.​

2. How does this sugarcane knit feel compared to a regular cotton knit?
On the body, it feels smooth, soft, and naturally cool, with a comfortable weight that drapes like a good quality cotton or viscose jersey. Many buyers like it because it gives a clean, natural hand feel along with a modern plant‑based material story.​

3. Is 180 GSM a good weight for T‑shirts and everyday tops?
Yes. 180 GSM is a classic T‑shirt weight—opaque enough for tops and baby garments, but still light and flexible for daily wear and layering.​

4. Does this knit have stretch even without elastane?
Because it is knitted, the structure itself provides natural mechanical stretch and recovery, giving easy movement and comfort for tees, baby clothes, and relaxed activewear.​

5. What are the most common uses for sugarcane fiber knitted fabric?
Brands usually use this fabric for T‑shirts, baby rompers, kids’ tops, loungewear, light activewear, inner layers, and casual dresses where comfort and breathability are key.​

6. Is this knit suitable for baby and kids’ clothing?
Yes. The soft hand, breathable structure, and plant‑origin fibre make it a strong option for baby bodysuits, tees, leggings, and sleepwear when combined with skin‑friendly dyes and finishes.​

7. Can it be used for yoga tops or relaxed activewear?
For low‑ to medium‑intensity activities like yoga, pilates, and walking, a 180 GSM breathable knit works well for tops and relaxed bottoms, especially for customers who prefer natural fashion textiles over fully synthetic sportswear.​

8. Is this fabric a good choice for all‑day loungewear and homewear?
The balance of weight, softness, and airflow makes it ideal for lounge sets, homewear, and travel basics that should feel easy on the skin from morning to night.

9. How breathable is sugarcane knit compared with synthetic jerseys?
Sugarcane bagasse‑derived fibres have high cellulose content and favourable moisture behaviour, which supports good breathability and helps the fabric feel cooler and less clammy than many synthetic knits.​

10. Does this fabric help with comfort in warm or humid weather?
Yes. The 180 GSM knit plus plant‑based cellulose allows air and moisture to move more freely, which supports comfort in warm or humid climates when patterns are designed with ventilation in mind.​

11. What does “RFD – Ready for Dye” mean for my dyeing process?
RFD means the fabric has already been scoured/cleaned at the mill, so your dye house can go directly into dyeing or printing without extra heavy pre‑treatment, saving time and helping keep results consistent.​

12. Can this sugarcane knit be dyed with natural dyes?
Yes. As a cellulosic textile, it can work with many natural dye systems, making it suitable for slow‑fashion and botanical‑dye collections aimed at conscious shoppers.​

13. Is it compatible with azo‑free reactive dyes for brighter shades?
It can also be dyed with azo‑free reactive dyes, allowing strong, repeatable colours while aligning better with restricted‑substance expectations when dyestuffs and recipes are chosen carefully.​

14. How do colours look on this knitted surface once dyed?
The even knit structure and RFD finish help colours sit smoothly and give a clean, modern appearance that works well for plain tees, kids’ prints, and brand basics in sustainable apparel fabrics ranges.​

15. What kind of care instructions are realistic for this fabric?
A practical label might say: “Machine wash gentle or normal, cool to mild water, mild detergent, no chlorine bleach; dry in shade or low tumble; warm iron or steam if needed.” This supports long garment life without being hard for customers to follow.​

16. Will this 180 GSM knit shrink when washed?
Like other plant‑based knits, some shrinkage is normal, so pre‑washing or compacting rolls before cutting is recommended for bulk orders; after that, finished garments typically stay within normal tolerance.​

17. Is sugarcane fibre strong enough for everyday T‑shirts and babywear?
Research on sugarcane‑derived cellulosic fibres shows they can reach strength levels suitable for apparel when processed correctly, making them a viable choice for daily garments and childrenswear.​

18. Does the fabric lose shape or pill quickly in use?
With appropriate yarn quality, knitting, and finishing, sugarcane knits can hold their shape and surface similarly to good cotton jerseys; pattern design and seam construction also influence long‑term appearance.​

19. Why is sugarcane fiber knit seen as a more responsible fabric choice?
Sugarcane bagasse—an abundant by‑product of sugar production—is rich in cellulose and can be converted into textile fibre instead of being burned or discarded, adding value to existing crops and supporting more circular material use. This fits well with brands looking to increase their share of bio‑based, lower‑impact materials.​

20. Is 100% sugarcane knitted fabric biodegradable?
Sugarcane‑derived cellulosic fibres can be biodegradable under appropriate conditions, which makes them a better long‑term option than many purely synthetic jerseys when considering end‑of‑life impact.​

21. How can brands describe this fabric in a Google‑safe, honest way?
Most brands focus on clear, factual points: it is plant‑based, uses sugarcane‑derived cellulose, is breathable and comfortable, and can be dyed with natural or azo‑free systems—without over‑stating performance or making unsupported environmental claims.​

22. What is the MOQ for 100% sugarcane fiber knitted fabric?
The minimum order quantity is 5 kg, which gives room for sample sets, fit runs, and small capsules before scaling to larger orders.

23. Is this fabric suitable for export‑oriented brands and sourcing teams?
Yes. A 180 GSM, plant‑origin knit with RFD finish fits easily into export programs that prioritise natural fashion textiles, provided buyers run their usual lab tests and compliance checks for their target markets.​

24. How can I test this fabric before committing to bulk production?
You can contact Ayurkruti with your end use (T‑shirts, babywear, loungewear, or light activewear), target colours, and quantity, and request swatches or trial yardage. This lets your team test hand feel, fit, sewing, and dye/print behaviour in your own patterns before moving into full production with a sugarcane knit that supports both comfort and your sustainability positioning.
