Modal Knit

Modal is a processed bio-based textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the beech tree. It is very soft and popular for both clothing and is curve friendly. modal is soft, smooth and breathes well. Its texture is similar to that of cotton or silk. It is cool to the touch and very absorbent. Like cotton, modal dyes easily and becomes color-fast after submersion in warm water. One of the advantages of modal is its resistance to shrinkage. Modal is less likely to fade or to form pills as a result of friction. Modal drapes well and keeps its shape, even when wet. In Europe, where the fabric originated, it is already widely used in clothing as a replacement for cotton.
