Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from cotton linter (the ultrafine, silky fibers that stick to the seeds of the cotton plant after it’s been ginned). Cotton linter used to be waste, but scientist decided to recycle this waste and turn it into a new strong fiber. Cupro is a hypoallergenic, antistatic fabric that is resistant to stretching out of shape at higher temperatures.
Cupro is often used as a silk substitute, because cupro is known for its ability to create beautifully draped clothing, except it can be machine-washed and -dried.
