Viscose Yarn Features and Uses
2
Viscose Yarn is a semi-synthetic fiber, which
was earlier known as viscose rayon. In
simple terms, it is a regenerated
manufactured fiber made from cellulose, obtained
by the viscose process. As a manufactured
regenerated cellulose fiber, it is neither
truly natural (like cotton, wool, or silk) nor
truly synthetic (like nylon or polyester) it
falls somewhere in between. The yarn has gained
popularity due to its low cost, silk-like feel,
cotton-like texture, with higher
breathability, which can be easily dyed and
produces vivid colors. Viscose is an ideal
substitute for cotton because of its
physiological advantages compared to
synthetic fibers. The physiological
performance of Viscose Yarn is unmatched
by any other manufactured fiber. Features of
Viscose Yarn Viscose Yarn is one of the
most popular listings in the textile
industry mainly because it shares a lot of
properties with cotton and provides more
breathability than it. Some of the key features
of this yarn are as follows Breathability Viscose
rayon is very breathable, making it an excellent
fabric for stylish summer wear. The super
absorbent nature of viscose fabric makes it
a convenient option for activewear and
doesnt make you feel too suffocated. Quite
like cotton fabric, it doesnt trap heat and
wicks away sweat. Color Retentivity It is a
fabric that can be dyed easily to produce
beautiful and vivid colors. English color
outfits look best when made with viscose
fabric. The fabric has excellent color retention
and can hold dyes
for a long time despite numerous washes.

Preservative It does not get damaged by
weak acids. Weak alkalis will not cause any
damage to the fabric. It also holds the
dye after prolonged use of detergents and soaps
without making it fade or look dull. Ability to
Blend Easily It blends well with most
fibers. When blended with polyester, it
gives polyviscose, and when mixed with cotton,
cotton viscose is produced. When Viscose is
blended with spandex, the fabric offers good
stretchability. Silky Feel Like almost every
natural fiber, viscose can provide a soft
and silky feel to the clothing. One of the
primary reasons behind its popularity is the
comfort of fine texture. That is why you will
often see it being included in the
manufacturing process of carpets,
linings, coats, and wipes.

Economic Viscose is a solid quality fabric
that looks like silk but doesn't leave a
mark on your wallet. This low cost is due
to the low production cost and rich
availability of raw resources that help make
Viscose. Draping Viscose yarn is the perfect
choice for draping. Its complex structure
helps the folds to stick together for a
delightful view, but not so much that they cannot
be manipulated according to your needs. This
property allows it to be used in
manufacturing curtains.
