Rayon, on the other hand, is a synthetic fabric made from cellulose fibers derived from wood pulp or cotton linter. Rayon has a luxurious feel that resembles silk and is often used as an affordable alternative to silk or wool. Rayon is also more lightweight than cotton and can be dyed in vibrant colors with ease. However, rayon does not have the same level of durability as cotton and can shrink or wrinkle easily if not handled properly.
