Thread Characteristics

Viscose Rayon was introduced in the mid 1800's and by the turn the century, was the first man-made fiber in full production. Although it is man-made, Rayon is not a synthetic fiber but regenerated natural fiber made of cellulose material, generally wood pulp.

Rayon has long been the preferred thread for this style of embroidery because of its sheen and smoothness. Most stitches, especially bullions which are used extensively for their dimensional effect, are much easier to make because of the thread's smooth texture.

Properties of Viscose Rayon:
Viscose Rayon yarn has a silk-like aesthetic with superb drape and feel and retains its rich brilliant colors.
   
Rayon yarn is moisture absorbent (more so than cotton), breathable, comfortable to wear, and easily dyed in vivid colors.
   
Rayon yarn is comfortable, soft to skin but has comparatively low abrasion resistance.
   
Unlike polyester yarns, Rayon yarn does not build up static charge.
   
Rayon yarn can resist ironing temperatures slightly less than that of cotton.
   
Insect damage is resisted with Viscose Rayon yarns, however, it can be attacked by silverfish and termites and should be avoided of mildewing.
   
Ability to blend easily with many fibers and in various ways is one of Viscose Rayon's strengths and advantages above other threads.
   
Being a cellulosic fiber, Viscose Rayon can easily burn. However, flame -retardant finishes can be applied.
