***MODAL VS. COTTON*** What is the difference between modal and cotton? Modal and cotton often go hand in hand to create the perfect fabric products. Modal is a natural fiber made of cellulose from beech. This versatile fiber decreases shrinkage in a cotton fabric, also making it over 50% more water absorbent. Try our popular cotton modal jersey fabric products for a perfect experience.

1. Is modal good for the environment? Sustainability: Modal is eco-friendly. It’s made from beech wood trees, which are a renewable resource. Modal is biodegradable. And modal production uses 10-20 times less water than cotton, so it’s more sustainable in terms of water resources. 2. Is modal durable? Durability: Clothing made with modal is very soft and clean on the surface. Fabric made with modal resists pilling and shrinking. It stands up to multiple washings without losing its shape. 3. Does modal shrink? Shrinkage Resistance: Have you ever noticed how cotton underwear often twists after washing? Side seams get out of skew or the leg openings are not symmetrical. This is due to uneven shrinkage. Blending cotton with modal helps our garments keep their shape.
