Modal Fabric

Modal fabric is a popular fabric used in clothing and everyday household items. Modal is a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber, which is a type of rayon. Modal fabric is made by spinning cellulose that has been reconstituted from trees.

Description

• A man-made fabric, Modal is spun out of wood pulp from beech tree chips.
• This natural composition makes it a breathable fabric, suitable for wearing close to the skin.
• The silky, shiny look of Modal belies the fact that it does not trap perspiration and therefore leaves the skin freer to breathe.
• Modal fabric can be a knit or a woven fabric. It is very soft, drapes well, resists creasing, and has a smooth lustrous finish. The fibers are often blended with cotton, spandex, wool, and other fibers because of their silky quality.
