Viscose fibers are the ideal partner for adding moisture absorption,
drape and color brilliance to textiles.
In blends with synthetic fibers like polyester, viscose fibers
add moisture absorption and comfort. When blended with cotton, viscose
adds better drape and color brilliance. In blends with linen, viscose
adds much needed softness and color depth. Because viscose fibers
are man-made, the denier, cut-length and finish can be modified
to optimize their performance in the various fiber blends.
