Modal is made from pulped down beech trees, the wood is chipped and then turned into purified cellulose pulp, dissolved into a viscous liquid and then pushed through fine spinnerets into a chemical bath where it regenerates into smooth, continuous filaments. 

These are then washed, stretched and finished to improve softness & colourfastness before being spun into yarn.
The result is a silky, breathable, sustainable fabric, perfect for activewear & Loungewear. 

🌿 Why Modal Is Considered Eco‑Friendly

Modal is described as more sustainable because:

  • Beech trees grow with no artificial irrigation.
  • Many manufacturers use closed-loop systems that recover chemicals.
  • The fibre is biodegradable.

It’s not perfect — it’s still a chemically processed fibre, but it’s one of the cleaner regenerated cellulose options available.

Fact: Did you know for everyone they cut down they plant 5 more! 

 

Happy making and tag us in your products, we’d love to see them!
