Modal is an especially soft, comfortable natural material, an improved version of rayon. It’s comfortable, breathes and absorbs moisture, maintaining a pleasant micro-climate for the wearer. This knit has a smooth face side and a brushed back (flannel type finish), which adds warmth and makes it great for cool-weather clothing like tees, dresses, leggings, leisurewear, and undershirts. It’s a double knit, so it’s durable and holds its shape well.
Modal is made differently than ordinary rayon, making it sturdy, pill-resistant, colorfast, and non-shrinking. Even the brushed side will look great for a long time. On top of that, modal is actually more eco-friendly than cotton; its production is pesticide free and consumes far less water.
Care
Wash at 30°C. Iron at medium to high heat (wool, max. cotton). Though modal and cotton can stand higher temperatures, elastane is more sensitive, so treat the fabric gently. This fabric is colorfast and pill resistant.
