Viscose is made by extracting cellulose from wood and
regenerating it into long thin strands that are similar to silk.
Cellulose is the compound every plant contains.

Benefits

Viscose is breathable and absorbent which makes it comfortable to wear all year round.

We use Viscose for it’s incomparable drape and it’s resilience to hold colour well after washing from dyeing and printing.

Ways to care

Washing

Your garment’s care label will provide the best care guide for the individual garment.

If the instructions state that the garment is machine washable, it can also be hand washed by hand to protect the garment from the agitation of a washing machine. Washing inside out in cold water with well dissolved detergent is a protective measure and saves energy. If washing by machine, cool wash inside out in a net washing bag and low spin to avoid pilling and snags.

Drying

Viscose is delicate when wet, so do not wring. To remove excess water, gently shake or roll in a towel to absorb moisture before drying on a line, rack or flat surface, smoothing out wrinkles to reduce creases.

Do not use a dryer as they are harsh on Viscose and may cause shrinkage or surface damage: This fabric air dries quickly.

Pressing

To avoid marks or shine, cool iron from the inside or use a cloth between the right side of fabric and iron to protect the surface.

You can also iron while the fabric is slightly damp to help protect the delicate fibres from damage.

Viscose can also be streamed when dry to achieve a crease free finish. Take care not to flatten crinkle fabrics.

Storing

Fold knit viscose styles to prevent distortion, protect garments from bugs by storing in a cotton bag.

Woven garments can be hung. To avoid mildew, ensure that garments are completely clean and dry before transferring to storage.
