Rayon is a cellulose-based fibre, or cloth made from that fibre; it is neither wholly natural nor synthetic, and is defined as semi-synthetic.
Cloth made from rayon is often called viscose, and can be referred to as art silk; it is a soft, smooth fabric with a sheen, giving it a silk-like appearance.
