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A: Both depend on fibre, finishing and washing method, so we do not quote a figure without testing.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.
