WHAT IS VISCOSE? | S1:E9 | Fibers and Fabrics | Beate Myburgh 

I am currently changing all my clothes to either cotton or linen. This is a result of my poor health which made me realise I needed to change how I live in all areas of my life.

I just threw away 3 pieces made out of 100% viscose because I was tired of how FAST everything wrinkled. This is how it made me curious to know more about the material. Great 👍🏼 video! And indeed, you listed “wrinkels” as one of the CONS. Thanks for the info provided.

So i watched the video on Polyester, and now I am going through your videos. So smartly done.

Very informative and easy to watch and follow. Thank yo very much for describing this material.

Very informative.. Especially i am worried about the environmental hazards. Now I understand why in India huge trees are cut down and where it goes.. Thank you.

I was purchasing a bed. It was expensive and claiming to be natural organic. When I looked further at the cover, instead of being cotton, the company went with viscose. After you've explained that it's manufactured with chemicals I'll pass. My wife was very sick recently and we had to make changes to our environment. I try to keep things as natural as possible.

I hate high maintenance clothes. I bought a polo on sale made of viscose blend. It’s not my favorite shirt so I’ll take the risk and throw it in the washing machine and dryer. I’m not going through the trouble to hand wash and dry it!

Is viscose unhealthy to wear? Another chemical known as carbon disulfide, which is used to spin cellulose into viscose fibers, also has significant associated health risks including coronary heart disease, psycho-physiological and central nervous system effects, retinal angiopathy and many others.

Thank you so much for this it really helped me!

One of my very favorite shirts ever was labeled “bamboo.”

Thank you so much! very informative video! 👏👏👏

Nice explain 👍👍

Thanks for this, i was told by my coworkers viscose is a natural product… Now i can tell the truth to my customers

VERY good work Beate

You are good teacher 👌👌

Nice information 👌 👍

Would you say it’s stretchy material? I want to order a romper but idk if I should size up it’s made out of 100% viscose

👍👍👍

Hi, thank you for your wisdom. 😁

Thank you kind lady.

Thanks.Can you tell us if itbis harsh on skin ? Love from India.

Great info! Thanks!!

Also, these semi synthetics look like a rags, especially nowadays. Most clothes in most of the stores look like garbage.

Miss, what the different between viacose and rayon? Is it same thing with different name? Nice video by the way. Love the detail you mentioned in this video.

Nice!😍

please add cotton, waste, birch, acracia, as well for source of cellulose. The process is man-made as the target to get to a solution stage that can re-generate into fiber. it is first made into fiber, then fiber spun as yarn

Thank you 😮

Thank you for this nice information.

You also have a video on Rayon, which is 100% the same, just a regional naming convention. New viscose might be bad for the environment, vintage viscose is not, so it is a fabric to hunt down in thrift stores. The deforestation is a bit of bullcrap, as the fibres are not from rare wood but from typical production forests. The attempts to make the chemical fibre production less toxic with the likes of Lyocell and Tencel is rather unsuccesfull, as the fabric is totally inferior to real viscose. So when I shop new, I rarely do that, I go for organic cotton or organic flax (linen) or a mixture. When shopping second hand I do prefer good old viscose and rayon. They are awesome fabrics. I don't recognise them being less sturdy. Maybe viscose pants and bicycles are a bad combination, no idea on that.

Thanks!

Very good

I saw a polo t-shirt made up of 95% cotton and 5% viscose. I know how 100% cotton Polo shirt feels like. Does viscose blended with cotton makes the t shirt thinner like jersey material??

Thanks for this. You made up my mind when you said toxic chemicals. I'll pass.

Could you wash it. Mine says to dry clean. Found it in the donation area. So not sure if they already washed and it shrank.

🐐

Nooooo….. It’s my most favourite fabric! 😭

I just bought a shirt and i don't know what material it is...kinda shiny and really light and soft like a cat... I think it may be this viscose

Nice information.

Is it possible to alter viscose trousers ?

Great video

Very nice mam

I can't take my eyes of her . 😍

Good day My viscose shirts keep shrinking during a cold hand wash, please may I ask for some tips on what to do so it won’t shrink during the wash ?

Ouchyyyy😮

Is it comfortable in summers ??

Is it stretchy?

It actually made from the Brazil tree Bahia

not environmentally friendly, millions of tons of it ends the sea, microscopic bits, it's like shooting your self in the foot, just for money, smiling does not make it innocent. thanks for educating us.

I have learn't alot from you so thankyou with a million kisses ontop ❤❤❤

Thank you for this very informative video! Does viscose biodegrade? What would happen if I put it in the compost bin or into soil?

Does it tend to pill Easily

Madam love your talking style

Very, very informative for a talking head video. By the way sheets, is spelled s-h-e-e-t-s, not shets.

Is Viscose bad to your health?

I don’t understand why the price for this is so high you was already killing the plants now you go and start using the tree and dying again use the stuff you have package away

Such a sweet woman. I hope you are married to an adoring husband with the grace and for the glory of God. Peace.

Are you South African.

Nope, Sorry. Only Cotton Hemp and Linen for me!!!!

These things should be banned. Another useless product the public don't need. Just like silk when animals are killed for clothes
