Rayon is a semi-synthetic fabric that is made from cellulose fibers, typically derived from wood pulp. It is known for its soft, smooth texture and drapes well, making it a popular choice for clothing and home textiles. Rayon is breathable and moisture-wicking, making it a comfortable choice for warm weather. It can be easily dyed in a variety of colors and is often used as a silk substitute in garments. However, rayon does have a tendency to shrink when washed and can also wrinkle easily.
