Viscose Elastane SJ

Viscose elastane, often referred to in textiles as a blend of viscose (also known as rayon) and elastane (commonly known by the brand name Spandex or Lycra), combines the properties of both fibers to create a fabric that is soft, stretchy, and comfortable. Here's some detailed information about this blend:

• Derived from wood pulp

Elastane (Spandex/Lycra)

• Highly stretchy and durable
• Returns to original shape after stretching
• Resistant to perspiration and oils

Viscose Elastane Blend

• Comfortable and stretchy
• Commonly used in clothing like dresses, tops, and leggings
• Requires gentle washing and low heat drying

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Soft, breathable, stretchy, and versatile.
• Cons: Prone to pilling, may shrink, sensitive to high heat.
