Viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre of plant origin, obtained from cellulose but processed in a similar way to synthetic fibres. In the world of textiles, viscose is used as a component in yarns, providing softness, a natural shine and a fluid drape. It is never the base of the yarns, but rather a complement that enhances the aesthetic and functional properties of the fabric.

Yarns with Viscose – Softness, Shine and Elegance
At Garmonyarns, we offer yarns with viscose, a unique fibre that combines the best of both worlds: plant origin (derived from cellulose) and a transformation process similar to that of synthetic fibres.

Currently, this category includes:
- ▷ YARNART – Symphony, a sophisticated blend with a satin effect.
- ▷ PERFORMANCE – Cotton Dazzle, which combines cotton with viscose to provide freshness and an elegant shine.

Yarns with Viscose – Lightness, Softness and a Satin Effect
Yarns with viscose are ideal for those looking for fabrics with an elegant, light and fresh finish. Their main attraction is their natural shine, which gives garments a satin effect, combined with a fluid drape and a very soft touch. This type of yarn is perfect for mid-season or summer garments, accessories and details that require a sophisticated touch.
Viscose behaves similarly to plant-based fibres in terms of breathability and freshness, but offers an aesthetic and texture reminiscent of artificial silks.

How is yarn with Viscose used?
✔️ Tips for use:
- ▷ Ideal for knitting or crocheting according to the thickness indicated on each product.
- ▷ We recommend making a sample first, as viscose gives the fabric drape and elasticity.
- ▷ Perfect for knitting on its own or combined with other yarns (cotton, acrylic, polyester).
✔️ Care:
- ▷ Hand wash recommended to maintain softness and shine.
- ▷ In some cases, machine wash on a delicate cycle (check each product label).
- ▷ Dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- ▷ Do not tumble dry.
- ▷ Iron at low temperature if necessary, preferably with a protective cloth.
✔️ Extra tip:
- ▷ Viscose adds weight to the fabric, making it ideal for garments with movement, but it is important to bear this in mind for projects where elasticity may affect the final shape (such as very large pieces).
