Tagged cupro

Cupro (pronounced k(y)üˈprō) is a regenerated cellulose fibre relative to tencel and modal. It is made from the silky fibres that stick to the seeds of the cotton plant after it’s been ginned, dissolved in ammonia and copper oxide. It is similar to rayon but it has the advantages of being breathable and machine washable. It is often used as a silk substitute because it feels very similar.
