Welcome to the world of Viscose!
At One of More Studio, we believe in offering our customers the finest fabrics that not only look great but also feel incredible. One of our favorite materials, especially for the warm summer months, is viscose. Let's dive into what makes viscose the ultimate summer fabric and how you can care for it to keep your wardrobe looking fresh and fabulous.
What is Viscose?
Viscose, also known as rayon, is a type of fabric made from regenerated cellulose fibers, usually derived from wood pulp. This eco-friendly fabric has a luxurious feel, akin to silk, but without the hefty price tag. It’s a perfect blend of natural and synthetic, offering the best of both worlds: the breathability of natural fibers and the versatility of synthetic ones.
Why Viscose is Perfect for Summer
1. Breathability: One of the standout features of viscose is its breathability. Unlike synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and moisture, viscose allows your skin to breathe. This means you'll stay cool and comfortable, even on the hottest days.
2. Lightweight and Soft: Viscose is incredibly soft to the touch, making it gentle against your skin. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for summer dresses, tops, and skirts that flow beautifully and keep you feeling light and airy.
3. Moisture Absorbent: Viscose is highly absorbent, making it great for humid climates. It wicks moisture away from the body, helping to keep you dry and fresh throughout the day.
Caring for Your Viscose Garments
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your viscose pieces, follow these simple care instructions:
1. Hand Wash or Gentle Machine Wash: It's best to hand wash your viscose garments in cold water with a mild detergent. If you prefer using a washing machine, opt for the gentle cycle with cold water to prevent any damage to the fibers.
2. Avoid Wringing: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing the fabric. Wringing can cause the fibers to stretch and distort.
3. Dry Flat: Lay your viscose garments flat to dry on a clean, dry towel. Avoid hanging them as this can lead to stretching and misshaping.
4. Cool Iron: If your garment needs ironing, use a cool iron and place a cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent any potential damage. Steaming is also an excellent alternative for removing wrinkles.
5. Store with Care: When storing your viscose clothing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Folding them neatly or hanging them on padded hangers will help maintain their shape and prevent creases.
