Tamil Nadu’s Secret! | News With Navya

I recently traveled to Coonoor, a charming town in Tamil Nadu, where I discovered something extraordinary: eco-friendly fabric made from soybeans! As a lover of ethnic wear and someone who enjoys getting outfits stitched, this find was like unearthing a hidden gem.

What are the benefits of soybean fabric?

1. Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable resources, soybean fabric is biodegradable and helps reduce environmental impact compared to synthetic fabrics.
2. Soft and Comfortable: Known as ‘vegetable cashmere’, Soybean fabric is incredibly soft, often compared to silk or cashmere, making it comfortable to wear.
3. Breathable: The fabric is breathable and has moisture-wicking properties, keeping you cool and dry.
4, Hypoallergenic: Soybean fabric is naturally hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
5. Durable: Despite its softness, soybean fabric is durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring longevity.
6. Thermal Regulation: It provides good insulation, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
7. UV Protection: Soybean fabric offers some protection against harmful UV rays, making it a good choice for outdoor wear.
8. Sustainable Production: The production of soybean fabric utilizes by-products from the food industry, promoting a zero-waste approach.
9. Biodegradable: At the end of its lifecycle, soybean fabric decomposes naturally, reducing landfill waste.
10. Easy to Dye: Soybean fabric takes dye well, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colors without excessive use of chemicals.
