95% Soybean 5% Spandex Knitted Fabric

1. What is 95% Soybean 5% Spandex Knitted Fabric?
It is a stretchy knit made from 95% soybean fibre and 5% spandex, combining a silky “vegetable cashmere” feel with gentle, comfortable stretch.

2. What does 200–220 GSM mean for this fabric?
At 200–220 GSM, this knit is a mid‑weight quality: heavier and more supportive than a light T‑shirt knit, but still soft and flexible enough for everyday wear.

3. How does this soybean–spandex knit feel on the skin?
It feels smooth, soft, and slightly silky, with enough thickness to feel secure on the body. The spandex adds gentle hug and recovery, while the soy keeps it breathable and comfortable.

4. Is this fabric stretchy and does it recover well?
Yes. The 5% spandex content gives a comfortable stretch and good shape retention, making it suitable for fitted garments that need to bounce back after wear.

5. What colour is the base fabric, and what is the finish?
The base colour is natural white in an RFD (Ready for Dye) finish, so it’s clean enough for direct dyeing and flexible for different colour stories.

6. What can I make with 95% Soybean 5% Spandex Knitted Fabric?
Typical uses include leggings, yoga wear, fitted tops, body‑skimming dresses, loungewear, and everyday basics that need both softness and stretch.

7. Is this knit suitable for yoga wear and active basics?
Yes. The 200–220 GSM weight plus 5% spandex gives enough coverage, support, and recovery for yoga tops, leggings, and studio‑style active basics (not high‑impact sportswear).

8. Can this fabric be used for kids’ and teen wear?
It works well for kids’ leggings, fitted tees, and casual stretch pieces when finished with child‑safe dyes and trims, thanks to its soft hand and plant‑based main fibre.

9. Is it comfortable enough for all‑day loungewear?
The soy fibre keeps it soft and breathable, while the spandex adds ease of movement, making it a good option for all‑day loungewear, travel outfits, and relaxed homewear.

10. Is this a good choice for comfort‑driven, eco‑conscious collections?
Yes. With 95% soybean and a small amount of spandex, it fits brands that want comfort‑first, plant‑leaning knits with a more thoughtful material story.

11. What does RFD mean for this soybean–spandex knit?
RFD (Ready for Dye) means the fabric has already been pre‑treated so your dye house can go directly into dyeing or printing without extra scouring or heavy pre‑processing.

12. Can I use natural dyes on this fabric?
Yes. You can work with many natural dye systems on the soy‑rich base, keeping in mind that spandex can be more sensitive to high heat and harsh conditions, so controlled processes are important.

13. Is it compatible with azo‑free reactive dyes?
It can be dyed with azo‑free reactive dyes to achieve brighter, more consistent shades while aiming for safer chemistry than conventional options, provided the dyer uses spandex‑safe recipes.

14. How does the surface look once dyed or printed?
The smooth knit and soy content help colours sit evenly and give a soft, slightly silky appearance, which works well for both solid shades and simple placement prints.

15. How should garments made from 95% Soybean 5% Spandex knit be washed?
A realistic care route is: gentle machine wash in cool water, mild detergent, no chlorine bleach, wash inside‑out, and dry flat or on low heat. This protects both the soy fibre and the spandex.

16. Will this fabric shrink or twist after washing?
As with most knits, a small amount of change can occur, but the spandex and proper setting help control distortion. Pre‑washing or compacting before cutting is recommended for bulk orders.

17. Does this knit pill or wear out quickly?
Pilling behaviour is similar to other mid‑weight stretch knits: with good yarn quality, sensible patterns, and correct washing, the surface stays neat for regular day‑to‑day wear.

18. Is 200–220 GSM durable enough for leggings and fitted tops?
Yes. The mid‑weight construction and spandex content make it suitable for leggings, fitted tops, and everyday stretch pieces, as long as seams and construction are built for movement.

19. What is the MOQ for this 95% Soybean 5% Spandex Knitted Fabric?
The minimum order quantity is 5 kg, which is practical for sampling, proto runs, and small capsules before committing to larger production.

20. When do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing?
If a single order for this stretch soy knit crosses 100 kg, bulk or wholesale pricing can be provided, making it convenient for garment units and brands planning regular runs.

21. Do you export this soybean–spandex knit to the USA and Europe?
Yes. This fabric is suitable for export programs, and can be supplied with technical details and supporting documents as needed for US and EU buyers.

22. How do I request samples or start a bulk order discussion?
You can contact Ayurkruti with your target GSM (200–220), colour expectations, and end use (such as leggings, yoga wear, or fitted tops) and request swatches or trial yardage. This lets your team test hand feel, stretch, and fit in your own patterns before moving into bulk with a knit that matches both comfort and story.
