Properties

Modal is a type of fiber that is produced from high-quality wood cellulose, most often from beech trees. Although, technologically, it is closely related to classic viscose, it stands out with a more advanced production process, thanks to which the fiber gains better strength parameters, dimensional stability, and higher elasticity. With elastane, the knit fabric perfectly fits the body, and modal provides softness and absorbency. Nylon adds strength and springiness. The thickness of 205 g/m² and the width of 151–156 cm guarantee smooth draping without heaviness. The matte finish highlights subtle color tones, and the fabric’s lightness makes it versatile across many seasons. It is the ideal balance between wearing comfort and fiber durability.

Pattern and Color Palette

A color palette maintained in smoky shades of earth: light vanilla, navy like a clouded night sky, berry-burgundy. These subtle colors gain depth and elegance thanks to the matte finish, creating a modern look that is also timeless. Gentle transitions of shades emphasize the fabric’s natural softness and its compact yet extraordinarily charming character.

Care

To enjoy this knit fabric for as long as possible, wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle, without bleach. Dry flat or hang in the shade. Iron on the left side at a low temperature and with steam if needed. Thanks to the presence of nylon and elastane, the fabric retains its springiness and shape after many washes.

Application

Modal knit fabric is perfect for projects that require softness and lightness — lightweight blouses, tunics, fitted tops, as well as flowing dresses. Thanks to its drapable structure and width of 151–156 cm, it is easy to achieve elegant lines and wearing comfort. This is a material that inspires the creation of everyday, yet stylish designs.
