1. What is 95% lotus 5% spandex knitted fabric?
It is a lightweight, breathable knitted fabric made from hand-extracted lotus stem fibers blended with 5% spandex for added stretch, flexibility, and shape retention.
2. How is lotus fiber extracted and turned into fabric?
Lotus fibers are hand-extracted from lotus stems, spun into soft yarns, and knitted into a smooth, breathable textile that feels naturally luxurious.
3. Why choose a lotus–spandex blend instead of 100% lotus?
The lotus provides natural softness, cooling, and breathability, while the 5% spandex adds elasticity, better fit, and resistance to sagging—making it ideal for active and everyday wear.
4. What GSM range is available for this fabric?
It comes in 180–250 GSM, ideal for T-shirts, activewear, leggings, loungewear, and premium everyday apparel.
5. How does lotus spandex fabric feel on the skin?
The fabric feels silky-smooth, cool, and gentle—perfect for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
6. Is this fabric hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Lotus fibers are naturally hypoallergenic and chemical-light, and the blend remains safe for allergy-prone skin.
7. Is lotus spandex fabric breathable and suitable for hot climates?
Absolutely. Lotus fibers provide excellent airflow and moisture-wicking, making the fabric ideal for warm and humid regions.
8. What garments can be made from this fabric?
It is perfect for T-shirts, yoga wear, gymwear, leggings, innerwear, loungewear, athleisure, and soft stretchable fashion garments.
9. Is lotus spandex fabric eco-friendly?
Yes. Lotus fiber comes from natural, renewable stems and requires minimal chemicals. The fabric is biodegradable, sustainable, and planet-friendly.
10. How durable is this fabric for everyday use?
The blend is more durable than plain lotus or cotton knits. Spandex improves shape retention, reduces sagging, and enhances resistance to wear.
11. Does lotus spandex fabric resist odor and bacteria?
Yes. Lotus fibers have natural antibacterial and odor-resistant properties, keeping garments fresher for longer.
12. Can this fabric be dyed easily?
Yes, it is RFD (Ready for Dye) and accepts natural dyes, azo-free dyes, and traditional synthetic dyes with excellent color absorption.
13. Is the fabric suitable for printing?
Yes. The smooth knit surface supports digital, screen, and block printing, giving sharp, clear results.
14. How should garments made from this fabric be cared for?
Wash gently with mild detergent, use cold or lukewarm water, avoid bleach, and air dry or tumble dry low to maintain softness and stretch.
15. How does lotus spandex compare with cotton-spandex or bamboo-spandex blends?
Lotus provides a more premium, artisanal feel, stronger breathability, and a unique sustainability story. Spandex enhances performance without compromising comfort.
16. Is the fabric biodegradable?
Yes. Since 95% of the fabric is lotus fiber, it is largely biodegradable and far more eco-responsible than synthetic blends.
17. Is this fabric suitable for premium or mindful fashion collections?
Definitely. Its story—hand-extracted lotus fiber, low-impact production, and serene, luxurious feel—makes it ideal for conscious and luxury labels.
18. Are bulk orders and custom GSM options available for brands?
