What is Rayon?

Rayon Yarn is produced from cellulose derived from premium wood pulp. These are the most significant properties of Rayon fabric:

• Luxurious Feel: Its silky, soft texture imparts a luxurious feel to garments, elevating their overall appeal.
• Drape and Flow: The inherent drape of Rayon lends garments a graceful and elegant look.
• Breathability: The fabric allows air to circulate, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
• Moisture Absorption: Rayon effectively wicks away moisture, enhancing comfort.

‘We often choose to work with Rayon because…

‘Rayon conveys luxury. It is smooth and lustrous and mimics the feel and drape of natural silk. Its drapability is exceptional, making it an ideal choice for flowing garments like dresses, skirts, and blouses. Rayon absorbs dyes beautifully, allowing for a wide range of colours and prints, making it a designer’s dream. Additionally, Rayon Yarn can be blended with other yarns to enhance properties. As a plant-based fibre, Rayon is highly absorbent & highly breathable – ideal for high-quality garments where breathability is essential for ease. It even prevents sweat marks by absorbing it into tiny micropores in the fibres themselves – locking it away.’

 

How to care for my Rayon garment?

‘Clothes made of Rayon can be washed in temperatures of up to 40° C – but since Viscose does tend to shrink at high temperatures, we recommend you strictly follow the washing temperature as indicated on the wash care label inside the product. Do not tumble dry Viscose – it dries very quickly. We recommend shaking the wrinkles out & hanging it out to dry.’

 

Does Rayon shrink & bleed colour?

‘As it is a natural fabric – you should expect your Rayon garment to shrink a bit during the first wash. If you follow the specific garment’s wash care instructions, you should not have any challenges.’

 

Why is Rayon clothing more expensive?

‘Rayon is no longer a cheap fabric as it is imported & subject to large duties, so clothes made from it can sometimes cost more than linen or cotton.’
