Modal is revolutionizing the fashion industry with its lightweight, stretchy, silky smooth to touch, and breathable nature. Modal fabric is a semi-synthetic fabric, the manufacturing process involves spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. The wood fibers are pulped into liquid form and then forced through tiny holes, creating the fiber and turns it into an eco-conscious, durable option for clothing and housewares. Modal is considered a luxurious textile thanks to both its soft feel and high cost, as it is more expensive than either cotton or viscose.

How Do You Care for Modal Fabric?

Modal can be cared for with the same guidelines you use for cotton. You can wash it in any temperature, and tumble dry in accordance with the directions on the label. Avoid chlorine bleach as it can weaken the fiber. However, with a scarf, we always recommend hand washing, as it is a delicate fabric.

 

Modal fabric is softer, and therefore items made from these fabrics are considered even more luxurious.
