FAQs
What is Lenzing EcoVero Viscose?
Lenzing EcoVero is a sustainable viscose fiber derived from certified and controlled wood sources. It is produced with significantly lower environmental impact compared to conventional viscose.
Can I machine wash this fabric?

What kind of projects is this fabric best for?
This fabric is particularly well-suited for dressmaking, especially for creating dresses, blouses, skirts, and other garments that benefit from a fluid drape and soft feel.
How is the fabric sold?
The fabric is sold by the metre. You can select the desired length in increments of one metre.
Is the 'Night' design suitable for all seasons?
The 'Night' abstract design has an autumn/winter appeal, making it a great choice for cooler weather garments. However, its sophisticated pattern can also be adapted for transitional pieces.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric has a light to medium weight of 150 grams per square metre (gsm).
Are there other color options for the Fuji Viscose Twill?
Yes, there is a 'Blush' variant available as a sibling product to the 'Night' design.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid high heat drying. Gently hand-stretch the fabric while damp.
Difficulty cutting clean edges
Use a sharp rotary cutter or fabric shears. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and smooth on a cutting mat. Consider cutting one layer at a time if needed.
Stitches are puckering
Check your sewing machine needle; ensure it is sharp and appropriate for fine fabrics. Adjust tension and consider a slightly longer stitch length. Test on a fabric scrap first.
Color bleeding during hand wash
Wash the fabric separately for the first few washes to check for excess dye. Use only cold water and mild soap. If bleeding persists, it may indicate a characteristic of the dye used; proceed with very gentle hand washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
Before cutting, it is highly recommended to pre-wash the fabric. Use a gentle cycle or hand wash, and do not tumble dry. This will account for any potential shrinkage.
Sewing:
Use a sharp, fine needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12 universal or microtex needle) and good quality thread (100% polyester or cotton). Consider using a slightly longer stitch length than usual for garment construction. French seams or serged edges are recommended to enclose the raw edges for a clean finish and to prevent fraying.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash recommended in cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium setting, preferably while the fabric is still slightly damp or use a pressing cloth. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
- Avoid: Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not dry clean.
