MICRO MODAL ► 

89% micromodal 11% spandex single jersey construction weighing 185GSM is a type of modal fabric, which is a semi-synthetic fiber made from beech tree pulp. It is known for its smoothness and softness, similar to silk. When combined with spandex (also known as elastane), it creates a fabric that is both luxurious and highly elastic. 

1. Softness and Comfort:

Ultra-Soft Texture: Micromodal is renowned for its incredibly soft feel, often softer than cotton. This makes the fabric extremely comfortable against the skin.

Smooth Surface: The single jersey construction results in a smooth, even surface that feels pleasant and looks polished.

2. Moisture Management:

Absorbent: Micromodal fibers are highly absorbent, capable of absorbing up to 50% more moisture than cotton, which helps to keep the wearer dry.

Breathability: The fabric allows air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.

3. Stretch and Recovery:

High Elasticity: The inclusion of 11% spandex provides excellent stretch and recovery, allowing the fabric to conform to the body and return to its original shape after stretching.

Comfort Fit: The elasticity contributes to a comfortable fit, making the fabric ideal for garments that need to move with the body, such as yoga wear or everyday clothing.

4. Durability:

Strong Fiber: Micromodal fibers are strong and resilient, contributing to the fabric's durability.

Wear Resistance: The fabric is resistant to pilling and abrasion, maintaining its appearance over time.

5. Ease of Care:

Machine Washable: The fabric is typically machine washable and can be tumble dried, making it easy to care for.

Low Maintenance: The fabric tends to resist wrinkles, reducing the need for ironing.

6. Versatility:

Wide Range of Garments: The medium weight of 185gsm makes it suitable for a variety of garments, including tops, dresses, leggings, and loungewear.

Year-Round Use: The fabric’s breathability and moisture management properties make it adaptable for both warm and cool weather.

7. Hypoallergenic Properties:

Allergy-Friendly: Micromodal is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.

Low Irritation: The fabric is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

8. Visual and Textural Appeal:

Luxurious Look: Micromodal has a lustrous sheen and a silky feel, giving garments a high-end appearance.

Color Retention: The fabric takes dye well and retains color vibrancy, ensuring bright and lasting colors.

9. Environmental Considerations:

Sustainable Raw Material: Micromodal is made from renewable beech trees, and the production process uses fewer resources compared to some other fabrics.

Closed-Loop Manufacturing: Some manufacturers use a closed-loop system to recycle solvents and minimize waste during production.

10. Draping and Fit:

Good Drape: The single jersey construction ensures a fluid drape, which is ideal for creating flowing garments.

Contouring Fit: The combination of micromodal and spandex allows for a close, flattering fit that contours to the body.
