Viscose fiber is made of purified cellulose and made of specially processed wood pulp. Viscose fiber is very similar to cotton and silk. It is a delicate and soft material commonly used in T-shirts, tunics, shirts and dresses, all of which contain cellulose. There are two types of fibers: natural (cotton, wool, and silk); and man-made products synthesized from petrochemical products (nylon and polyester).

The raw material for viscose is cellulose, which is mechanically or chemically decomposed and reorganized into fibers. In fact, viscose seems to be somewhere in between, but it is generally believed that viscose fiber is natural. Viscose fiber is obtained through special wood processing. Viscose fiber is made of wood pulp. Viscose is a viscous organic liquid used to make rayon and cellophane. Cellulose from wood fiber or cotton fiber is treated with sodium hydroxide and then mixed with carbon disulfide to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide.

Viscose yarn is a yarn made from a cellulose base. It has many characteristics, including high tensile strength, making it suitable for knitting and crocheting projects. It can also be labeled as rayon or viscose rayon; viscose fiber is actually a processed cellulose base material used to make rayon, it is not a fiber itself. Viscose rayon is the first fiber manufactured. It is not as synthetic as polyester because it is made of natural materials but undergoes extensive processing. There are a variety of production techniques that can be used to convert viscose fibers into rayon. The finished product has high gloss, is very soft and very strong. However, viscose fibers are also brittle and prone to pilling and need to be carefully cleaned to avoid scratches or otherwise damage the fibers.

One advantage of viscose yarn is that rayon absorbs dyes well, allowing knitters and crocheters to use multiple colors. The gloss usually lasts, leaving a deep and bright color. In addition, the fiber retains the dye and should remain bright and colorful throughout the life cycle of the product made from it. Craftsmen who want to use eye-catching, non-fading yarns can choose this yarn for their projects.

One of the main disadvantages of viscose yarn is that it does not have the elasticity of many other fibers. For people who are not familiar with fiber optics, this can make the job challenging. Lack of elasticity can also make the measurement of knitters challenging. Craftsmen who have not used this yarn before may want to try a small test project with this yarn to get acquainted with it. Leave a deep and brilliant color.
