EcoVero Viscose is a sustainable and biodegradable fiber derived from wood pulp, produced using an environmentally responsible manufacturing process compared to conventional viscose. It offers a soft feel and good drape.
The fabric will be supplied as one continuous piece. For example, if you order 3 meters, you will receive a single piece of fabric measuring 3 meters in length and 140cm in width.
Yes, the medium weight and predictable behavior of this fabric make it quite suitable for beginner dressmakers. Its ease of cutting and sewing allows for a good learning experience.
While it's a high-quality fabric, its primary design is for dressmaking. Its medium weight and drape may not be robust enough for most upholstery projects, which typically require heavier-duty fabrics.
Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation of the fibers. Ensure it is folded neatly or rolled to minimize creasing.
When cared for properly according to the instructions (30-degree wash, avoiding direct sunlight), the color should remain vibrant. Proper washing and storage are key to maintaining color fastness.
This is common with natural fibers. Pre-washing before cutting is essential to account for any shrinkage. Always follow the recommended washing temperature.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size and type for viscose fabric. A fine universal needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12) is usually recommended. Also, check your tension settings.
Try using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle. Ensure the fabric is ironed while slightly damp to restore its soft feel.
Setup:
This fabric is sold by the meter and cut as a continuous piece. Simply order the desired length for your project. It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage, especially when working with natural fibers like viscose.
