Regenerated cellulosic fibres are made from natural cellulose, usually obtained from wood or other plant sources. Unlike cotton or linen, the cellulose is processed and transformed into new fibres. This family includes viscose, modal and lyocell, while bamboo cellulose is most commonly used to produce bamboo viscose. These fibres are generally soft, breathable and absorbent, but their feel and performance vary depending on the fibre and fabric construction.
