Rayon

Rayon is a versatile semi-synthetic fabric known for its softness, drape, and breathability. It is made from natural cellulose fibers, typically sourced from wood pulp, which undergoes a chemical process to create the final fabric. Rayon is often referred to as “artificial silk” due to its resemblance to silk in texture and appearance.

Properties

• Softness: Rayon is prized for its soft and smooth texture, making it comfortable to wear against the skin.
• Drape: Rayon has a luxurious drape, flowing gracefully and elegantly, which makes it ideal for flowing dresses, skirts, and blouses.
• Breathability: Rayon is breathable and moisture-absorbent, making it suitable for warm weather clothing.
• Versatility: Rayon can mimic the look and feel of natural fibers like silk, cotton, and linen, offering a wide range of options for clothing and home textiles.
• Prone to wrinkles: Rayon is prone to wrinkles and may require gentle care during washing and ironing to maintain its appearance.
• Absorbency: Rayon has moderate absorbency, which means it can absorb moisture without feeling damp or sticky, adding to its comfort in warm climates.
