Modal
Modal fabric is a bio-based fabric that is made from spinning beech tree cellulose. Modal is generally considered a more eco-friendly alternative because beech trees don’t require much water to grow and therefore the production process uses about 10-20 times less water [than cotton].
Modal is very strong because of the tight weave and the long fibers. Similar to rayon and other silk alternatives, modal has a beautiful drape. The fabric resists pilling and has a smooth finish that makes it ideal for everyday wear and use.
