Modal (textile) (Redirected from Polynosic) Modal is a type of rayon, a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, in this case often from beech trees. Modal is used alone or with other fibers (often cotton or spandex) in household items such as pajamas, towels, bathrobes, underwear and bedsheets.
This fabric also makes a fabulous trim for other knits; the recovery of cotton modal knits makes it perfect for neckline edges and cuffs. Additional Tips: This fabric lends itself to form-fitted garments; if you have been looking for a fabric with which to make a tank with a shelf bra attached, look no further!
