Wool, cotton, or linen? No! These supposedly clearly recognizable fabrics are often viscose fibers. The properties of viscose—also known as “artificial silk”—first and foremost include skin-friendliness as a result of the natural basic material.
Another fascinating feature of viscose fibers is the high absorbency. This helps prevent unpleasant odors, making this sort of clothing the perfect fashion companion even in warm temperatures. On top of all this, there’s also the great feeling of viscose on your skin. The material is less elastic and therefore falls loosely and airily. What’s more, the fibers are very hard-wearing, making them last longer than comparable fabrics. So, you see, viscose will leave you feeling good all-round!
Viscose unfortunately has the disadvantage that the material always shrinks a little during washing. It’s therefore best to buy clothes that are one size bigger. The unpopular pilling of the fabric can be reduced by turning the garments inside out for washing.
