100% Soybean Knitted Fabric – 180 GSM, RFD & Dye-Ready
This 100% soybean knitted fabric brings a silky, smooth feel with a gentle drape that sits beautifully on the body, often compared to a plant-based version of cashmere or silk for its softness and comfort. At 180 GSM, it is light yet reliable, making it a lovely choice for breathable tops, scarves, innerwear, and baby clothing that needs to be kind to delicate skin.
The fabric comes in RFD (Ready for Dye) form, which means it has been properly prepared to take color evenly and vibrantly without extra processing steps. You can finish it with natural dyes for a slow-fashion, botanical look or choose azo-free dyes when you need brighter, more consistent shades with safer chemistry than conventional synthetic dyes.
Made entirely from 100% soybean fiber, this knit supports more mindful, eco-aware collections that focus on comfort, softness, and a cleaner material story from fiber to finished garment.
Machine wash cold or hand wash at a maximum of 30°C, dry in shade only, and use a low-temperature iron if needed.

1. What is 100% Soybean Knitted Fabric?
It is a knit fabric made from 100% soybean protein fibre, often described as a plant‑based alternative to cashmere or silk because of its softness and gentle drape.
2. How does this 180 GSM soybean knit feel on the body?
At 180 GSM, it feels smooth, silky, and light, with enough body to hang well without feeling heavy. The fabric sits softly on the skin, so it is easy to wear all day.
3. Does this soybean knit have natural stretch?
Yes. Because it is a knitted construction, it has natural stretch and recovery, giving comfort and ease of movement even without added elastane, depending on the knitting structure.
4. Is soybean knitted fabric gentle on sensitive or baby skin?
Soybean fibre is known for its soft, low‑irritation touch and “second skin” feel. That makes this knit a strong option for baby tees, inner layers, and anyone who reacts to rougher fabrics.
5. What GSM and width should B2B buyers expect?
This quality is 180 GSM, which is a light to mid‑weight knit suitable for tops and innerwear. It is typically produced in standard apparel widths (for example around 58–60 inches), which suits export‑oriented cutting rooms.
6. What can brands make with 100% Soybean Knitted Fabric?
Common applications include breathable tops, T‑shirts, scarves, innerwear, baby clothing, loungewear, and relaxed layering pieces where softness and comfort are a priority.
7. Is this knit suitable for babywear and kids’ garments?
Yes. The silky hand feel and plant‑based origin make it a good choice for baby tees, rompers, leggings, and kids’ sleepwear when finished with child‑safe dyes and auxiliaries.
8. Is soybean knit a good option for innerwear and base layers?
It works very well for camisoles, slips, inner vests, and base layers, because it is soft, breathable, and comfortable against the skin for long wear periods.
9. How does 180 GSM soybean knit perform in warm climates?
Soybean fibre has good moisture absorption and ventilation, so garments feel cooler and less sticky than many synthetic jerseys in warm or humid conditions.
10. Is this fabric used by export brands?
This type of 180 GSM, RFD soybean knit is the kind of plant‑based jersey export brands choose for baby tees, soft tops, and inner layers when they want a more mindful, natural fibre story.
11. What does it mean that this soybean knit is RFD (Ready for Dye)?
RFD means the fabric has already been pre‑treated, so your dye house can go straight into dyeing or printing without extra scouring or heavy pre‑processing.
12. Can this knit be dyed with natural dyes?
Yes. Soybean fibre takes colour well, so it can be finished with many natural dye systems, which suits slow‑fashion and botanical‑dye collections.
13. Is it compatible with azo‑free reactive dyes?
It can also be dyed with azo‑free reactive dyes, giving brighter, more consistent shades while keeping chemistry safer than conventional options when the right dyestuffs are used.
14. Will colours look even and rich on this knitted fabric?
When dyed with a controlled process, the RFD preparation helps colours apply evenly, and the soft, slightly silky surface helps shades look smooth and rich in both real life and product photos.
15. How should 100% soybean knit garments be washed in real life?
A production‑friendly care approach is: gentle or delicate wash in cool water with mild detergent, avoid chlorine bleach, reshape while damp, and dry flat or in shade to protect drape and surface.
16. Will this 180 GSM knit shrink or distort after washing?
Soybean fibre has relatively low shrinkage, but as with most knits, a small amount of change can occur, so pre‑washing or compacting before cutting is recommended for bulk orders.
17. How does this knit behave for pilling and surface wear?
Pilling behaviour is similar to cotton knits: with good yarn quality and appropriate finishing, the surface stays smooth and tidy in regular use.
18. Is this knit durable enough for everyday tops and babywear?
Soybean fibre balances strength and softness; combined with 180 GSM weight, it is durable enough for everyday tops, baby garments, and innerwear when patterns and seams are built for repeated washing.
19. What is the MOQ for 100% Soybean Knitted Fabric from Ayurkruti?
The minimum order quantity for this soybean knit is 5 kg, which is friendly for sampling, proto runs, and small capsules before you commit to larger production.
20. When does wholesale or bulk pricing start for this knit?
If a single order for this 180 GSM soybean knitted fabric crosses 100 kg, Ayurkruti can offer wholesale or bulk rates, which is useful for garment units and export buyers planning regular production.
21. Can Ayurkruti provide a plant‑fiber certificate such as EPFC?
Yes. For programs that need documentation, Ayurkruti can provide an EPFC (Ecological Plant Fiber Certificate) when the cumulative order quantity for this knit is more than 500 kg, supporting plant‑fiber and sustainability claims in US and EU markets.
22. Do you export soybean knitted fabric to the USA and Europe?
Yes. Ayurkruti exports natural knit fabrics, including 100% Soybean Knitted Fabric (180 GSM, RFD), to customers in the USA, Europe, and other regions, along with technical data and lab reports where required.
23. Is 100% soybean knit a plant‑based textile?
Yes. It is made from soybean protein, usually recovered from soy processing by‑products, and spun into fibre and yarn, so it is fully plant‑derived rather than petroleum‑based.
24. Is soybean knitted fabric biodegradable?
Soy fibre is renewable and biodegradable when not blended with synthetics or heavy coatings, which makes it a strong alternative to conventional synthetic jerseys for natural fashion textiles.
25. Why do brands choose soybean knit for sustainable collections?
It combines a soft, premium hand feel with a clear plant‑based origin and good wearer comfort, which makes it attractive for sustainable apparel fabrics aimed at conscious buyers in US and EU markets.
26. How do I request samples or start a bulk discussion?
You can contact Ayurkruti with your GSM, colour, and target use (for example, baby tees, innerwear, or women’s tops) and request swatches or initial yardage. This helps your team feel the fabric, test it in your own patterns, and then move confidently into bulk with a soybean knitted fabric that already works in your production line.
