Rayon, a light and soft fabric used for summer clothing, is a synthetic fiber composed of regenerated cellulose fiber. It is derived from wood pulp, typically coming from bamboo, pine or beech. Rayon is known for its softness, breathability and versatility, often used in clothing, upholstery and other fabrics. It can mimic the feel and texture of natural fibers such as cotton, silk and linen, making it a popular choice in various applications. Rayon was one of the first man-made fibers and has been produced commercially since the late 19th century. It is prized for its comfort and ability to drape well, making it suitable for a wide range of garments, from casual wear to formal wear.
