Does every rayon fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Rayon is a family name for regenerated cellulose fibres, including viscose in many markets. Confirm the mill name on the page. Do not assume modal, lyocell, and viscose behave the same.
Can you skip sampling rayon fabric?
Sample the named fibre, not a generic “rayon” substitute.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword rayon fabric?
Exact fibre name, construction, weight, and care. Buying on the word rayon without checking process and construction.
