What is Viscose?
Viscose (also called rayon) is a semi-synthetic fiber made from regenerated cellulose, typically derived from wood pulp or bamboo. It's known for its silk-like drape, breathability, and versatility at an affordable price.
Key Features:
- ✔ Silky Feel – Mimics the luxurious drape of natural silk
- ✔ Breathable – More moisture-wicking than polyester
- ✔ Dye-Friendly – Holds vibrant colors beautifully
- ✔ Biodegradable – Unlike fully synthetic fibers
Common Uses:
- Clothing: Dresses, blouses, linings
- Home Textiles: Bedding, curtains
- Industrial: Medical supplies, tire cords
Note: Requires gentle care (hand wash/dry clean) as it can shrink or weaken when wet.
