What is Micromodal Yarn?

Micromodal yarn is an innovative, eco-friendly fabric that has been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly in the world of high-quality tights and other apparel. Made from sustainably sourced beechwood pulp, Micromodal is celebrated for its softness, durability, and environmentally conscious production process. If you're looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and sustainable fabric, Micromodal is the one to know about. But what exactly makes Micromodal so special, and why is it the perfect material for tights? Let's dive in.

A Brief History of Micromodal Yarn

Micromodal was first introduced in the 1990s by Lenzing AG, an Austrian company known for its commitment to sustainable fibres. Derived from natural cellulose, Micromodal is a type of rayon fabric, specifically a variation of modal. The main source of the cellulose used in Micromodal is beech trees, making it a renewable material. The production process is designed to minimize environmental impact, often using closed-loop systems that ensure chemicals are reused instead of being released into the environment.

The journey of Micromodal from raw beechwood to the softest yarn involves breaking down the wood pulp, which is then spun into fibres. These fibres are subsequently turned into the incredibly soft and flexible fabric we know today. Over the years, Micromodal has become synonymous with premium comfort, making it a go-to material for high-quality clothing items, including our very own Snag Cinnabarl tights.

Why is Micromodal Yarn So Good for Tights?

Micromodal is known for several key properties that make it a standout material, especially for tights:

• Softness and Comfort: Micromodal is often described as feeling "silky soft" against the skin. It has a texture similar to cotton but with an added touch of luxury. This means that tights made from Micromodal offer the ultimate comfort experience, which is particularly important for items that hug your skin all day.
• Breathability: One of the fantastic qualities of Micromodal is its breathability. The fabric allows air to circulate, which helps prevent overheating and keeps you feeling fresh throughout the day. This is ideal for tights, which need to be comfortable in various weather conditions.
• Moisture-Wicking: Micromodal is highly absorbent, making it effective at wicking away moisture. Whether you’re moving around at work or out on a weekend adventure, Snag Micromodal tights keep you dry and comfy.
• Durability: Even though Micromodal is incredibly soft, it’s also surprisingly strong. Tights made from Micromodal maintain their shape and colour over time, even after multiple washes. This means your Snag tights will look and feel fantastic for the long haul.
• Sustainability: Sustainability is a huge factor in why we at Snag are so excited about our Micromodal range. The beechwood pulp used to make Micromodal comes from sustainably managed forests, and the production process is environmentally responsible, often employing techniques that use less water and minimise waste.

Common Questions About Micromodal Yarn

Is Micromodal Better Than Cotton?

Both Micromodal and cotton have their unique benefits, but when it comes to softness and breathability, Micromodal takes the lead. It is smoother and softer against the skin compared to most types of cotton. Additionally, Micromodal is more resistant to shrinking and fading, making it a great long-term investment for your wardrobe. If you’re someone who values comfort and a luxurious feel, Micromodal is definitely a superior option.

Is Micromodal Yarn Sustainable?

Yes, Micromodal is known for its sustainability. It’s made from beechwood, a renewable resource, and the production process typically uses fewer chemicals and less water compared to other fabrics. At Snag, we pride ourselves on making tights that not only feel good but are good for the planet too.
