This collection covers viscose yarn for knitting and weaving mills sourcing ring spun, open-end and vortex spun yarns. Options include 100% viscose, polyester/viscose 67/33 and cotton/viscose 50/50 blends, supplied in raw, grey and blue, including melange and slub variants.

Available Compositions and Counts

The range includes 100% viscose yarn in ring, open-end and vortex spinning, polyester/viscose 67/33 in ring melange, and cotton/viscose 50/50 (visco/cotton) including a slub version. Counts run from NE 16/1 up to NE 40/1 across the different compositions. Colours available are raw, grey and blue, with ring melange lines offered in multiple melange grades (VG 0 to VG 5, RV 1, RV 2 and PV/RV Karip variants).

Spinning Method and Properties

Ring spun viscose yarn is produced with a traditional ring spinning process, generally giving a more compact, even yarn structure suited to fine to medium counts. Open-end (OE) spun viscose is produced on rotor spinning systems, typically associated with a bulkier, more irregular yarn structure at coarser counts. Vortex spinning is an air-jet based method that produces a yarn with a different surface character compared to ring or OE. Melange yarns in this collection combine polyester and viscose, or 100% viscose fibre blends, in graded shade levels (VG/RV series) for mottled or heathered effects. A slub variant is available within the cotton/viscose 50/50 group for yarns with an irregular thick-and-thin effect.

Typical End Uses

These yarns are supplied for both knitted and woven fabric production, reflected in the separate knit and woven product lines within the collection. 100% viscose and cotton/viscose blends suit knitted jersey and woven fabric constructions, while polyester/viscose 67/33 melange yarns are used where a heathered fabric appearance is required in either knit or woven goods.
