rayoncotton

Rayon cotton refers to a fabric made from a blend of rayon and cotton fibers. Rayon itself is a manufactured fiber derived from cellulose, typically from wood pulp. Cotton is a natural fiber obtained from the cotton plant. By combining these two fibers, manufacturers aim to create a textile that offers a combination of the desirable properties of both.

The resulting fabric often exhibits characteristics of both its constituent fibers. It can possess the softness, absorbency, and breathability associated with cotton, while also benefiting from rayon's drape, lustrous sheen, and tendency to hold dye well. This blend can also offer improved wrinkle resistance compared to 100% cotton, and may feel cooler and lighter than pure cotton. The exact proportions of rayon and cotton in the blend can vary, influencing the final characteristics of the fabric.

Rayon cotton blends are utilized in a wide range of apparel, including dresses, shirts, skirts, and loungewear. They are also found in home furnishings such as bedding and draperies. The versatility of this blend makes it a popular choice for manufacturers seeking to balance comfort, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness in their products. The care instructions for rayon cotton fabrics generally advise gentle washing and avoiding high heat to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
