You may have seen the word "modal" listed as fiber content on clothing and linens labels. While the word may be new to shoppers looking for new pajamas, underwear, socks and other clothes, modal is actually just a type of rayon fabric made from the fibers of the beech tree. Modal is classified as a bio-based textile. Modal is growing in popularity in the United States and can be found in activewear, underwear, shirts, towels, bed linens, socks, and bathrobes. Modal's distinguishing characteristics are its high wet strength and its extra softness. It is sometimes referred to as "soft as a feather" and the "softest fiber in the world." In addition to its use in general apparel, its softness makes it especially ideal for body contact clothing such as lingerie, socks, and undergarments. More comfortable than cotton socks.
