Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Italian viscose different from regular viscose?
Italian viscose is woven from finer yarns on advanced looms, giving a smoother surface, richer colour saturation, and improved drape. Mills in Italy also apply premium finishing processes for better durability and a silk-like handfeel.
- Is viscose a natural or synthetic fabric?
Viscose is a semi-natural fibre made from cellulose (usually wood pulp). It behaves like natural fabric — breathable, moisture-absorbent, and soft — but is engineered for a smoother, more fluid texture.
- How do I wash and care for Italian viscose fabrics?
Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water. Avoid tumble drying — instead, lay flat or hang to dry in shade. Steam or press on a low to medium heat with a cloth to prevent shine.
- Do Italian viscose fabrics shrink?
Like most natural fibres, viscose may shrink slightly on the first wash. Pre-washing before cutting your pattern is recommended for accurate sizing and fit.
- Can I sew viscose easily?
Yes — viscose is beginner-friendly but benefits from a few tips: use a fine needle, lightweight thread, and a slightly shorter stitch length to avoid fraying. Interfacing or stay-stitching curved seams helps keep shape while sewing.
- What garments work best with Italian viscose?
This fabric’s fluid movement makes it ideal for blouses, maxi dresses, wide-leg pants, skirts, and wrap-style pieces. Printed versions are often used for resortwear and modern statement looks.
- Is Italian viscose sustainable?
Many Italian mills now produce viscose using eco-certified methods, such as closed-loop production that reuses solvents. Always check individual product listings for sustainability notes.
