Superb Soybean! Super silky and strong vegetable fiber.
The fiber is complementary in blends with other fibers and is not generally used on its own. In blends with Cashmere or wool it improves hang and drape qualities, giving a superior luster to the product and helping to reduce rubbing/pilling. It is possible to use the fiber 100% in yarns.
Absorption properties are similar to cotton and so the fiber feels cool. Its ventilation is superior to that of cotton with a silk-like appearance. The fiber is anti-ultraviolet and therefore, retains dyed colors well and is superior to viscose and silk in this respect. It is stronger than wool, cotton and silk but not polyester.
