rayon

Cellulose-based textile fiber

Rayon is a synthetic fiber made from cellulose, typically derived from wood pulp.

It drapes and breathes like natural fibers but costs less than silk, which it often imitates.

Fabrics made from rayon are also called rayon: a rayon blouse, rayon lining.

The material wrinkles easily and requires gentle care.
