Viscose is the name of a manufactured chemical made predominantly of wood cellulose, which has been added to a caustic soda, to break down the cellulose. (other stuff is done, but check out the wikipedia link for that information)

When this process is done, you will then have a Rayon yarn. Very nice, soft, and it glistens--however it can be a bit "slippery" and not stay in a knot, for example.

So, viscose generally equals Rayon.

How do you identyfy cotton yarn and viscose yarn?

If you had a length of cotton yarn and a length of viscose (or rayon, is another word for viscose), yarn and you were attempting to differentiate between the two, it is tricky. I would suggest that you wet both strands of yarn, and pull them. The rayon will stretch more and be less strong than the cotton. The rayon will also absorb more water than the cotton yarn.

What is the difference in modal yarn and viscose yarn?

Modal yarn is a type of rayon made from beech tree cellulose, known for its softness, breathability, and ability to retain color well. It is often considered more environmentally friendly due to its production process, which uses less water and chemicals compared to conventional rayon. Viscose yarn, on the other hand, is also made from cellulose but can come from various sources, including wood pulp, and typically has a less eco-friendly production process. While both yarns are soft and drapey, modal generally has superior moisture-wicking properties and durability.
