What is Modal?
Modal is a processed bio-based textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the beech tree. Modal is used alone or with other fibers (often cotton or spandex) in household items such as pyjamas, towels, bathrobes, underwear and bedsheets.In many ways, it acts like cotton, but it also has some significant advantages over that fiber. Like other types of rayon, which were originally marketed as "artificial silk," modal is soft, smooth and breathes well. Its texture is similar to that of cotton or silk, and it's cool to the touch and very absorbent. Like cotton, this textile dyes easily and becomes color-fast after submersion in warm water. One of the advantages of modal over cotton is its resistance to shrinkage, a notorious problem with cotton.
