What is viscose?

Textile materials can be divided into three main categories: natural, artificial and synthetic. Viscose is an artificial material, which means that it is made by processing natural raw materials using chemical processes. Although the term "artificial" may evoke negative associations, viscose is produced from cellulose – a natural raw material obtained from coniferous trees.

How is viscose formed?

The production of viscose begins with obtaining cellulose from wood pulp (usually coniferous trees), which is chemically treated. This process consists of several stages:

1. Cellulose Dissolution: The collected cellulose is dissolved in a chemical solution to form a viscous mass.
2. Spinning the fiber: The resulting mass is passed through small holes, forming fine threads, which then harden and form viscose fibers.
3. Post-processing: The obtained fibres are washed, bleached and dried, which gives them their final properties.

Advantages of viscose - the perfect material for sewing summer clothing

Viscose is a fabric that is perfect for sewing summer clothing. Blouses, skirts or dresses made of viscose fabric are extremely comfortable to wear and provide comfort even on hot days.

Viscose is a popular material that belongs to the group of artificial fibers, produced from cellulose obtained from coniferous trees. Although viscose is an artificial material, its natural origin makes it pleasant to the touch and airy.

The viscose fabric is breathable and allows the skin to breathe, which is especially important at high temperatures. Viscose perfectly absorbs and releases moisture, so clothes made of this material do not stick to the body and do not cause discomfort. Viscose fabrics are light and airy, which makes them ideal for summer outfits.

Although viscose is prone to creases, its advantages fully compensate for this minor inconvenience. Viscose clothes are comfortable, stylish and perfect for summer. Thanks to the natural properties of cellulose, from which viscose is made, this material is extremely pleasant to the touch and comfortable to wear.

Application of viscose fabrics in tailoring - viscose textiles and clothes

Viscose fabrics are widely used in tailoring. Viscose is one of the most popular materials used to sew blouses, dresses, skirts and even shirts. Thanks to its softness and lightness, viscose fits perfectly on the figure and provides comfort of wearing. Clothes made of viscose are airy and perfect for summer. Viscose also works well as a lining for jackets or trousers, providing additional wearing comfort.

Application of viscose in tailoring and clothing industry:

• blouses, dresses, pants;
• pyjamas, bed linen;
• linings for coats and jackets;
• decorative and upholstery fabrics.

Viscose can be found in both fabric and knitted form. Viscose fabric has a more stable and flat weave, which makes it suitable for sewing textiles or clothes in a more formal style. Viscose knitted fabric, on the other hand, is characterized by greater elasticity and stretch than fabric. Viscose knitted fabrics are soft, airy and pleasant to the skin. They are perfect for sewing blouses, tops, dresses or skirts with a fitted cut. 

Care and maintenance of viscose products

To enjoy viscose clothes for as long as possible, it is important to take proper care of the fabric. Viscose clothing should be washed at low temperatures, preferably at 30 degrees Celsius. Tumble drying should be avoided, as viscose loses its shape and becomes heavy and shrinks under the influence of high temperatures. It is recommended to dry viscose clothes flat to avoid stretching of the material. Viscose may need to be ironed, but it should be done at a low temperature and preferably through the fabric to avoid leaving marks or creasing the material.

The most important rules for caring for viscose clothing:

• Wash at low temperatures.
• Avoid tumble dryers.
• It is best to dry flat.
• Iron at a low temperature.
