The Professional’s Guide to Spun Viscose Yarn: Specifications, Performance, and Global Sourcing
Introduction
In the evolving textile landscape, Spun Viscose Yarn (often referred to as Rayon Spun) has become a cornerstone for brands seeking the perfect balance between luxury aesthetics and functional comfort. As a regenerated cellulose fiber derived from natural wood pulp, it offers a sustainable, biodegradable alternative to synthetics without compromising on industrial strength.
At Shanghai Samsun, we specialize in high-tenacity Spun Viscose solutions. Our yarn is engineered specifically for high-speed industrial knitting and weaving, ensuring that your final textile product achieves a premium "silk-touch" finish with maximum durability.
1. Why Spun Viscose? The Science of Comfort
Spun Viscose is unique because it combines the breathability of natural fibers with the consistency of engineered yarn.
-
Moisture Management: Viscose can absorb up to 13% moisture, significantly higher than cotton (~8%) and far superior to polyester (<1%). This makes it the premier choice for summer apparel and active-wear linings.
-
Static-Free Property: Naturally anti-static, our Spun Viscose ensures that garments drape beautifully without clinging to the body.
-
Biodegradability: As a plant-based fiber, it aligns with modern ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
