Acrylic 38% ——Acrylic supplies the bulk and the even, wool-like surface that knitters expect, at a cost line far steadier than wool. It is also what keeps the garment light on the body. Its weakness — a tendency toward static and a synthetic feel when used alone — is largely offset here by the 47% lyocell sitting on the face.

FAQ
Q: What is 2x2 rib knit fabric used for?
A: 2x2 rib is a stretch knit with alternating two-knit, two-purl wales. It is used where recovery matters — cuffs, collars, waistbands, base layers, leggings and semi-fitted tops. In this 220 g/m² version it suits thermal underwear and mid-weight base layers rather than lightweight summer jersey.
Q: Is this fabric warm enough for winter base layers?
A: At 220 g/m² with 19% wool, yes for autumn through early spring and for indoor winter wear. For extreme cold or expedition use, a heavier weight or a higher wool content should be specified — both can be discussed as a development.
Q: Does it shrink or pill?
A: Both depend on fibre, finishing and washing method, so we do not quote a figure without testing. Shrinkage and pilling results are measured per lot and can be issued as a report with your bulk order.
Q: Can you dye to my Pantone colour?
A: Yes. We produce a lab dip for approval first, and the approved dip becomes the bulk standard. Shade continuity is checked lot by lot against that dip.
Q: Can you change the composition or weight?
A: Yes, within reason. Common requests are 180 g/m² for a lighter summer version, or a higher wool share for colder markets. Send the target spec and we will confirm feasibility, hand feel impact and price before sampling.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity of the fabric?
A: Our minimum order quantity is usually 300KG. If your order quantity is smaller, you can also discuss specific customization and procurement plans with us.
Q: Can I get a sample before ordering?
A: Yes. Sample yardage and lab dips are arranged before bulk, so your team can run wear, wash and stretch trials on the actual fabric.
Q: Can I get a discount if I place a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer preferential prices for bulk orders.
