Loading...Viscose Tops is a plant-derived fiber made from cellulose, characterized by a soft hand, extraordinary smoothness and a natural luster reminiscent of silk. Its tops structure makes it easy to process and ideal for spinning, carding, or use in blends with other natural fibers. Its plant origin makes it a vegan and versatile choice for those seeking a silky-looking yet cellulosic-based material capable of adding luster and movement to textile processing. Because of its even texture and good ability to absorb color, viscose allows for intense, even tones with a bright, flowing visual effect. It is a popular fiber for creating decorative yarns, lightweight fabrics and forcreative felting in combination with wools and silks.
Outlet products.
Products in the outlet are offered at a reduced price because they have characteristics that do not fully meet our quality standards. They remain fully workable, however.
Availability and packaging
Our viscose tops are available in packages of 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg per color. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3% and contains viscose in a continuous web, ideal both for cost savings and for those who need large quantities for technical processing. For non-ECE shipments, the packages are vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the viscose returns to its original, fluffy volume without any loss of quality.

Viscose comes from a simple and renewable material: wood cellulose. It is a fiber that starts in nature and then goes through a transformation process that makes it thin, bright and incredibly fluid to the touch. Its story is one of a delicate balance between natural resource and industrial ingenuity. The wood used comes from forests that, in the most virtuous contexts, are managed in a responsible and renewable way, where each tree is part of a continuous cycle of growth and regeneration.
The transformation of cellulose into textile fiber takes place through complex processes, which have an environmental impact that varies depending on the technology used and the level of control of the supply chain. This is precisely where contemporary viscose is evolving: toward cleaner, more efficient and resource-conserving production systems.
In the world of creative fibers, viscose is valued for what it adds rather than what it replaces: light, movement and softness. It is a fiber that amplifies expressive possibilities, especially when it meets wools and other natural fibers.
A material that comes from nature, goes through transformation, and returns to creativity in the form of brilliance and lightness.
Our viscose is produced in Italy within a supply chain that specializes in the processing of cellulosic fibers. It is derived from cellulose of vegetable origin and processed through controlled processes that enhance its luster, softness and color performance.
The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which guarantees the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
The dyeing of fibers is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemical substances and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.

Because colors may vary depending on the settings of the monitor or device being used, we recommend that you purchase our Color Folder to check the shades live before placing your final order. Want to check the quality of the material? Choose our Sample Box
CAUTION: All of our colors generally exhibit high lightfastness and wash fastness. However, fluorescent colors (80's collection), in addition to having a lower lightfastness, may also suffer significant color loss in the presence of alkaline or particularly aggressive soaps, as well as with prolonged processing or washing. This phenomenon can occur, to varying degrees, even with dark and particularly bright colors. For materials dyed with these shades, we always recommend that a preliminary processing and washing test be carried out on a small sample before making the final design. This precaution is essential, especially when dyed materials are combined with unbleached or light-colored fibers.
Finally, to best preserve the colors, it is recommended that artifacts not be dried in direct sunlight, but in a shady place.
