Silky Modal
Silky modal fabric refers to a type of modal, which is a semi-synthetic fabric made from beech tree pulp. This material is known for its exceptionally soft feel, high durability, and eco-friendly attributes compared to many synthetic fibers. “Silky” modal is particularly noted for its smooth texture and lustrous finish, which gives it a similar appearance and feel to silk, hence the name. It combines the practical benefits of modal fabric, such as moisture-wicking properties and breathability, with an elegant sheen and softer touch that elevates its luxury appeal.
Properties
- Superb Softness: Silky modal is celebrated for its ultra-soft texture, making it incredibly comfortable against the skin.
- Lustrous Finish: It has a natural shine that mimics silk, adding an element of sophistication to garments and textiles.
- Breathability: Like modal, it is breathable, making it ideal for clothing intended for warm weather or active wear.
- Moisture Wicking: Excellent for keeping the wearer dry and comfortable by moving moisture away from the body.
- Durability: Modal fibers are more durable than those of cotton, and the silky variant maintains this strength, allowing for longer-lasting wear.
- Color Retention: Holds dye well, leading to vibrant colors that resist fading over time, even after multiple washes.
