Description
Rayon is one of our favorite fibers because it always has a beautiful drape It’s often soft, usually lightweight, and relatively easy to care for—but what is it exactly?
Rayon is the catchall term for fabric made from regenerated cellulose fiber. Rayon is often mistaken for a synthetic fiber, but it is actually made from wood pulp and other plant materials. It was developed in the early 1900s as an alternative to silk and has since been used in all sorts of applications, from commercial to industrial. One of the great properties of rayon is that it is cool to the touch. This and its breathability make it a perfect fabric for warm weather. A swingy rayon night gown or pajamas will help keep you cool and comfortable when it’s the middle of July and the humidity is out of control!
Our rayon is pre-washed before we make the loungewear, so unlike silk, these can be thrown in the washer but best hung to dry to eliminate lots of wrinkles.
