What is Poly/Viscose?
Poly is short for polyester, which is a durable, smooth, synthetic fiber. You may know viscose by the name rayon. Workers make rayon out of cellulose fiber from wood and plants. In this case, the viscose is made to imitate wool. These two fibers blend together to create a durable, non-felting, non-pilling, hypoallergenic fabric that retains the same wonderful, natural aesthetics of wool.

The fabric is lovely – just the right weight. I am so pleased, I may buy some more to make a kilt for my son to wear next St. Patrick’s Day!!!
