Rayon is a manufactured fiber made from natural sources such as wood and agricultural products that are regenerated as cellulose fiber. The many types and grades of rayon can imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, and linen.
Rayon is made from purified cellulose, harvested primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound. It is then dissolved and forced through a spinneret to produce filaments which are chemically solidified, resulting in fibers of nearly pure cellulose.

Question: I have a beautiful blouse made of 100% but it’s just too big. It also has an elasticized waist and buttons. Will this fit me after I put in the dryer or be uneven? Thank you!

@BeateMyburgh 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Gem. Difficult to say. I think a "safer" option is to take it for alterations. If you don't have one already, you can ask your local dry cleaners if they do alterations or Google "tailor" in your area. If you want to take the chance of putting it in the dryer make sure it's in a dry/ mostly dry form. Put it in at a lower heat setting for short periods of time 5-10min. Take it out, try it on, and see how it fits. Remember the entire garment will probably start shirking therefore in the areas where it is body hugging it might become tight. Hope that helps! 🌼

I'm reading a book about the oppressive economy of 1930s Germany. Part of it explains how they expected rayon/cell wool would be a replacement for the wool German was having a difficult time importing from the U.S.. I've been unable to find anything about cell wool. Is it basically a synonym for rayon?

Viscose is one of several types of rayon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8qRdcZk0badqHU.html In fact, it's the first generation of rayon. To be more precise, viscose is both a method of producing rayon and the product of that method. The same is true of lyocell, modal, etc. More info on this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

@lovemadeinjapan 2 жыл бұрын

Rayon is fully the same as viscose, it is American vs European name convections. I've Hawaii shirts in rayon that look like thick matte cotton. I've viscose items with super shine. There is a relation between fabric name and country of origin. Made in US/Honk Kong/India/Mexico usually means the name is rayon. Saying rayon has no evironmentally benefits is very short sighted. Deforestation? Serious? Guess cotton does more deforestation than rayon. Usually viscose is from production forests in Scandinavia, which is pretty sustainable. Other benefits for the environment is that the fibres are non toxic and can biodegrade. Third is that they get less stink, so you need less washing and less deoderant and such. Second hand it is also lacking most of the downsides you mention. I hardly have any usages issues that are different than cotton or linen. Ironing is super easy, piling is there sometimes, but very minor, and invisible from a distance, so nothing like wool. If they can fix the fibre process, it is a very eco-friendly material. Not all attempts at that are great. Lyocell/Tencell are horrible for example.

@jimcrawford97 8 ай бұрын

The production of viscose/rayon is potentially very dangerous to the people involved as it involves a chemical called carbon disulphide. This causes brain damage and resulting side effects like impotence, depression and suicidal ideation. Many workers have taken their own lives due to over inhalation. The factories also tend to be in poorer countries and don’t police the waste dumped into nearby rivers poisoning people downstream. On the flip side it can be made safely if the reaction with carbon disulphide is covered and the chemical is recovered to be reused. So while rayon is nice to wear it’s manufacturing is often hazardous.

@@jimcrawford97 I know, you told it, but I was trying to say that vintage viscose is already there. But no new viscose nor bamboo or lyocell for me.
