Viscose is a chemically produced fiber from the natural substance cellulose. Visc💝ose is also known as "rayon" and is used in the fashion industry as artificial silk🌳. Viscose is a versatile fabric that can be used to make a variety of clothing items, including dresses, blouses, and skirts.
Viscose fabric is known for its softness, breathability, and drape. It can also be dyed easily 𝓰and is often used as a substitute for natural silk or cotton. It provides comfort when worn and gives a visual sheen to clothing. However, it is important to note that viscose fabric can shrink and lose its shape if it is not cared for properly, and it is not 𓆏as durable as some other fabrics.
- Viscose is a semi-synthetic raw material
- Viscose fabric is so easy to care for and versatile
- Viscose absorbs moisture
- Viscose fabric is more skin-friendly than synthetic fibers
- Viscose is biodegradable
- Conventional viscose is not sustainable
- "Lyocell" or "Tencel" indicate a more environmentally friendly production from eucalyptus
Viscose is made from cellulose, a natural raw material found in wood. It is extracted from beech or spruce wood, eucalyptus or bamboo in a chemical process and then pressed into fiber form under high pressure. This process is the reason why we speak of a semi-synthetic raw material: viscose is neither a💜 pure natural fiber such as cotton or silk, nor a synthetic fiber such as polyester.
