Blend 20% PLA / 62% Modal / 12% Spandex in a classic jersey knit for soft hand-feel, stretch and recovery—suited to underwear, nightwear, sportswear, loungewear and light home-textile programs. PLA is a bio-based fiber from renewable feedstock; Modal adds softness and Spandex provides elasticity. Antibacterial performance and any biodegradation / composting claims for this blend must be confirmed with lab reports to the buyer target before bulk (Spandex and Modal limit full-fabric biodegradation vs PLA fiber alone). Model KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-170 (Factory Ref. QM230509A). Make-to-order. MOQ 1000m per color (usual); sample yardage available, freight collect.
Product overview
This elastic jersey combines PLA (polylactic acid), Modal and Spandex for a soft, stretchy knit aimed at next-to-skin and active apparel. PLA content is bio-based from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane feedstock paths.
Confirm stretch %, recovery, antibacterial test method and any biodegradation / industrial-composting language to your buyer target with a lab report before bulk. Do not claim the full blend is fully biodegradable without confirmed data—Spandex and Modal remain in the structure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 20% PLA / 62% Modal / 12% Spandex blend mean?
PLA is a bio-based fiber; Modal contributes soft hand-feel; Spandex provides stretch and recovery in the jersey knit. Together they target next-to-skin comfort for underwear and sportswear programs.
Is this fabric “recycled”?
The core story for KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-170 is bio-based PLA content, not recycled polyester. If you need recycled Modal or other recycled inputs, tell us the target and we will check a directed development path.
Is the fabric biodegradable or compostable?
PLA fiber can follow a biodegradation path under suitable conditions, but this is a blend with Modal and Spandex—so do not treat the whole fabric as fully biodegradable unless confirmed by test for your end-use and disposal scenario. We align claim language to lab data before bulk.
Do you offer antibacterial performance?
Antibacterial finishing or inherent claims are available as a confirmable path. We match the test method and standard your buyer requires and provide a report before bulk.
What is the typical weight and width for KIGI-PLA-JERSEY-170?
Typical weight is about 170gsm; width 133cm. Exact gsm and finished width depend on dyeing and finishing—we confirm before sampling lock.

Usual MOQ is 1000m per color. Sample yardage is available for testing and development; freight is collect unless otherwise agreed.
