Beige Rayon Fabric

What is Rayon Fabric?

Rayon Fabric is a lusciously soft but durable material, with better absorbency than cotton. Though it’s made using chemical processes, all the manufacturing components are natural. Little known fact but Rayon Fabric is actually biodegradable and, therefore, more eco-friendly than other textiles. This material is crafted from wood pulp in the form of purified cellulose fiber. The pulp is converted to a soluble compound, which is then dissolved and inserted into a spinneret to form the new refined fibers.
