Soyabean fibre is a protein fibre made from the by-product leftovers of soya milk. In a wet spinning process, the soya protein liquid is forced through a spinneret and cooled to produce yarn filaments.

Soya fibre is quite slippery to spin, so is best spun with a tight twist. Soya singles can be plied with itself or with another yarn. Soya fibre can be carded and blended with other fibres, such as wool.

Soyabean is a protein fibre so can be dyed using acid based dyes. Soya can also be dyed using plant dyes and mordants.
