The benefits of embroidering with rayon viscose threads
Get to know what to expect during and after production and in the appearance of your designs.
The rayon made from viscose has a similar structure to cotton and therefore offers feel and texture resembling those of natural fibres.
The threads are soft, smooth, skin-friendly and pleasant to touch. The embroidered elements are shown in brilliant, vivid colours with a beautiful luster.
The flexibility and the high tensile strength wet and dry of Classic threads are allowing you to embroider anywhere on the garment, on different type of materials, in any direction and using diverse techniques.
During production, these threads create no looping issues. Manufacturing timings and costs are reduced due to an amazingly low thread break risk (in average, 400.000 stitches without any thread brake). Also, it can run at high speeds, such as 1.200 stitches per minute.
In a long term, the high colours and light fastness preserves the embroidery, while the washability up to 95°C allows a flexible cleaning.
