Rayon
Rayon is made from regenerated cellulose, which gives it the comfort of a natural fibre with a smooth, cool hand and a fluid drape. It takes dye and print brilliantly, which makes it a staple for kurtis, dresses, shirts, nightwear and summer wear.

Questions
About Rayon
Is rayon the same as viscose?
Yes. Viscose is the most common type of rayon, and in the Indian market the two names are used for the same fabric.
How do I reduce rayon shrinkage?
Ask for a pre-shrunk or compacted finish, and allow for residual shrinkage in your pattern. We state the finish on the quotation.
