Modal: Revealing Fabrics of the Future by SILVER NEEDLE & THREAD

Chances are you, as a consumer, have come across a prevalent fabric on the market today called Modal. Well, have you ever wondered what it is?

Today there is a manufacturing company that falsely sells such fabrics like modal as natural, sustainable, eco-friendly and our future in the textile industry. However, natural is just not the reality.

Revealing Modal


So what is modal? It is actually a type of rayon made from reconstituted cellulose. You may remember Rayon from a previous post, and the side effects are severe. To understand more click here for the post on Rayon.

..and yes, modal is light weight, shrink and fade resistant, but…  

Modal loses shape and has been attributed to far worse things as severe itching and burning rashes when worn.

There are several other fabrics that are being portrayed as natural, but as a conscious consumer and fashionista you too can be informed. Join Silver Needle & Thread at the next A Fabulous You Seminar where those fabrics will be revealed and broken down on their true content and harmful effects.

Let's Talk Sustainability Recently, I served on a Sustainability Panel hosted by Fashion Group International North Florida.  The panel consisted of a member from the Florida EPA Division, a Beauty expert, a Blogger and me. I love having the opportunity to talk with like minded movers and shakers, who have a genuine passion, drive and concern for what our future holds in the mist of a toxic chemical saturated society of over consumption and waste.  Needless to say the house was full and we went way over the time, but no one cared.
