Rehab breathes new life into quality fibers and yarns, transforming scraps and leftovers into sustainable, creative materials ready to inspire your craft projects.
Viscose waste is fiber selected from our production from processing waste.
Buying these materials means making a sustainable choice, but you should also be aware that these packages have some limitations since the colors available vary according to production and the color assortment is limited nor is it possible to select color combinations within the package. However, we guarantee you that there are at least 2 different color shades inside. This approach not only contributes to waste reduction but also provides an opportunity to explore new creative and sustainable combinations. And that is why these materials are part of our DHG Rehab selection because they are fibers that are given a second life but have the high quality and characteristics of fibers in the collection and are perfect for felting, weaving, and hand spinning.
Availability and packaging
This item is available in 500 g. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3%.
For non-ECE shipments, packages are vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the fiber returns to its original, fluffy volume with no loss of quality.
Viscose waste.
Composition: 100% viscose
Each package contains 500 g / 17.6 oz. of viscose waste in assorted colors (minimum 2).
The weight of the packages has a physiological tolerance of +/- 3%; quantities within these packages are sent in continuous tape.
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.
Because of its even texture and good color-absorbing capacity, viscose allows for intense, uniform hues with a bright, flowing visual effect. It is a popular fiber for creating decorative yarns, lightweight fabrics and for creative felting in combination with wools and silks.
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.

Since colors may vary depending on your monitor or device settings, we recommend purchasing our Color Card to check the shades in person 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.
