“Bamboo is antifungal”
Because it’s rayon
“Eucalyptus fabric is cooling!”
Yeah, because it’s rayon
“We make clothing called seacell out of seaweed!”
Yeah I looked on your website it’s made by the lyocell process, which means-
-wait for it-
It’s fucking rayon!!
Listen. There is a list of actual plant fibers that are directly made into fabric: cotton, linen, ramie, some hemp. I’m sure I’m missing a couple.
But if you’re wondering “huh how did they turn that plant material into fabric,” 99% of the time? It’s RAYON.
All rayon is made by putting plant material in chemical soup, dissolving out everything but the cellulose, and turning the cellulose into filaments/fibers.
The source of the cellulose has zero effect on the eventual fabric.
Rayon made from bamboo or eucalyptus or seaweed is not any better than rayon from any other sources.
Don’t let companies mislead you!

I’ve seen so many threads debating the merits of rayon and whether it’s a plastic or a “natural fibre” going around, and y’all, the problem with rayon is not whether or not it satisfies some technical definition of synthetic fibre.
The problem is that the most common method of manufacturing rayon is so ridiculously toxic that it’s literally killing the people who work in the facilities where it’s produced, and is illegal to carry out in much of the world as a result – but instead of using better (more expensive) methods, everybody just imports the stuff from places where killing your workers for the sake of a buck isn’t effectively regulated.

So I'm reading through some old 1920s fashion magazines and the illustrations are sometimes gorgeous, sometimes bizarre.
And sometimes they're vampires. These are so obviously vampires.
(Source: advertisement for Bemberg rayon fabrics from the March 1929 issue of "Delineator" Magazine)

it's done it's done it's DONE! 31x106" pre-wet-finish...and it's rayon/nylon, so I am still figuring out the best way to do that bit...probably fill a tub with cool water and a squeeze of Soak, roll up in a couple bath towels, then arrange over shower rod to hang-dry?
it's either a wraparound throw blanket, or the most luxurious scarf wrap thing ever. I kind of love the dimensions.

Being "awarded" the label "Crown Tested" only for using Crown brand is like being "awarded" the label "McDonald's Tested" on a Big Mac. Whoop-dee-doo.
