Viscose is a semi-synthetic type of rayon fabric made from wood pulp that is used as a silk substitute, as it has a similar drape and smooth feel to the luxury material. The term “viscose” refers specifically to the solution of wood pulp that is turned into the fabric. Viscose is made from tree wood pulp, like beech, pine, and eucalyptus, but can also be made from bamboo. It is semi-synthetic due to the many chemicals involved in the viscose process, like sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Viscose is a great option if you’re looking for a lightweight material with a nice drape, a lustrous finish, and a soft feel. It is relatively inexpensive and can convey luxury for a much lower price point. It also blends well with other fibers like cotton, polyester, and spandex. The following are some properties of Viscose -

 

• Absorbent. Viscose rayon does not trap heat, but it also absorbs water and sweat nicely, making it great for t-shirts and athletic wear. 

• Lightweight. Viscose is extremely airy, which makes it nice for blouses and summer dresses. 

• Breathable. It’s a very light fabric that doesn’t stick to the body, so it’s optimal for warm weather clothing. 

• Soft. While the material looks like silk, it feels like cotton. 

• Maintains Shape. The fabric is not elastic but can be blended with other textiles, such as spandex, to add stretch. 

• Dye fast. Viscose can hold dye without fading, even after long-term use and washes.

 

We currently source high quality viscose staple fibre (VSF) and viscose yarn from our suppliers based in China. We are also sourcing viscose yarns from our supplier based in Indonesia.

Our yarns are spun through the traditional ring spun process. We also supply yarns that are spun using open end, vortex spun, and siro compact process, which give the yarn differing characteristics and properties. All our yarns can be used for knitting and weaving of clothing and apparel, and also for home furnishing applications.

​

We also offer all types of viscose blended yarns, both in dyed and non-dyed forms. The main blends we offer are viscose-polyester and viscose-acrylic. The standard blend percentages we offer are 30-70, 20-80, and 15-85. However, we can offer other blend percentages and alter other specifications (thickness and yarn count), as per customer requirements.
