Modal fabric?

Could someone tell me what modal fabric is? I searched the previous posts in this group for this fabric but came up with zero. Is it a nice fabric, wrinkly, stretchy, pilling, etc.??? I haven't a clue and if I've seen it I don't remember or it didn't make an impression on me.

It's a type of cellulosic fabric, like rayon or tencel. Technically man-made, it's made from natural materials. It's used much like rayon, and is often blended with polyester.

Fiber, not a fabric. It's a trade name for high wet modulus rayon. Can be woven to make many, many types of fabric. Probably closest in feel and behavior to Tencel (lyocell)
