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.
What is modal? I have recently started wearing a fabric called modal. it is so much softer than cotton and while it's so thin, it's extremely warm. Can anyone tell me where it comes from? I believe i read it comes from the beech tree and doesn't shrink or fade as much as cotton.
