Thoughts on Lyocell or Modal Linings as alternative to Cupro?

So there are plenty of threads here on cupro(bemberg) being better as a lining in terms of viscose aecetate, but I came across a paper comparing them.


What do you think?

Interesting.

An issue with which I'm not only unfamiliar, but which I've never even considered.

A quick reference to the chart in the attached PDF file suggests Lyocell as the clear winner if based solely on wearing properties. But another characteristic presented is ecological impact, where it seems Cupro has an advantage.

However In my quick scan of the PDF I did not notice a few other characteristics and issues I would consider relevant. They are:

1. Price
2. Availability
3. Whether the study was controlled for differing qualities of each type. I.e., is there a range of quality within each type, and are types of equivalent quality being compared?

Studies can be a tricky thing. A good consultant can build you a study to prove the moon is made of green cheese if that's the outcome you want (And you pay enough! :D) by jiggling what is being compared and manipulating other variables.

I couldn't get past So. My time here is limited I try to invest it on subjects that do not require vast amounts of reading on subjects that don't amount to a hill of beans.

You on the other hand have the patience of Job and wisdom of Solomon. :)

Thank you! 👍

Though I fear it is more like the patience of Saul and wisdom of Esau. ;)

Too modest. I'll stand by my original observation.

Off topic, has the storm reached you?
Hopefully little effect.

It's pretty close. But tucked into the northwest corner of the state costal storms usually have less effect. Plus, we're atop a broad 1,100 above sea level ridge, so flooding isn't an issue. While our exposure can give the wind free reign, a distance of 40 or 50 miles from the coast usually mitigates the worst of that as well.

Sandy was an exception. While we obviously didn't have the costal flooding, things were rockin' and rollin' up here. That storm even got into narrow little hilltop valleys and took down big, old trees.

Right now all is dead calm. And that worries me. My aged body is more sensitive than most barometers, bad weather enhancing the varied discomforts of old age. Perhaps most unpleasant is a feeling of itchy unease. I'm full on TILT at the moment.

It is unfortunate that virtually every broken bone and/or joint injury we have experienced through life comes back to haunt us in our later years, every time a storm front moves through. It can be a burden, but it is much preferable over the other option! LOL. ;)
