Just a bit of interesting info about Rayon, it may surprise you, the fiber/fabric was invented in 1855 and refined in 1864. It was first commercially manufactured and sold in USA in 1910 under the name of 'Artificial Silk' the name was later changed to Rayon in 1924. Interesting ugh!

PS It is made up of wood pulp and cotton waste.
