Viscose (Rayon) Yarn Manufacturers and Suppliers in Turkey

Viscose yarn is spun from viscose fiber, in which cellulose from a source such as wood pulp is turned back into fiber by chemical processing. It is sought as an alternative to cotton or polyester in products that need a soft fabric with good drape and moisture absorption. The directory has no separate categories for modal and lyocell; look for companies selling these yarns on this page and in the product descriptions of company profiles. TENCEL™ is Lenzing's brand name for its lyocell and modal fibers; on the quote and the label, ask for the fiber name (lyocell or modal).

Where is it used?

According to the joint technical publication Processing of Viscose Fibers by Lenzing and Rieter, cellulosic fibers such as viscose are used both at 100% and in blends with fibers such as cotton and polyester, in fashion fabrics, everyday clothing, underwear and home textiles. Saying at the start which composition you want makes both the choice of yarn and the quote easier.

Where does the fiber come from?

The viscose fiber can come from a different fiber producer than the company that spins the yarn. So ask the yarn company two things: which producer does it buy the fiber from, and does it hold a forest certificate and a chain-of-custody certificate, such as FSC or PEFC, for the forest the pulp comes from? The same count of yarn can behave differently when spun from different fiber. Put a clause in the specification that the supplier must inform you if the fiber source changes. Companies that sell viscose staple fiber in loose form are not on this page; they are in the textile fibers category.

Wet strength and shrinkage

Viscose loses a significant part of its strength when wet and regains it when dry; low wet strength can cause shrinkage and loss of shape in washing. So look not at the yarn sample but at the yarn made into fabric: put a fabric sample through a wash and shrinkage test and share the result with the yarn supplier. For how viscose behaves as a summer fabric, see breathable fabrics for summer.

Certificates and labeling

If a harmful-substances certificate such as OEKO-TEX is requested for the fiber and the yarn, take the certificate number and check which product group it covers and for how long it is valid. What certificates prove is explained in the textile certifications guide.

As of the date of this page (October 8, 2026), only the names in the Annex 1 list of Turkey's Regulation on Textile Fiber Names and on the Labeling and Marking of the Fiber Composition of Textile Products may be used for the fiber composition on the label of a textile product in Turkey (Article 6). The list has no bamboo; the fiber the trade calls viskon is listed as “viskoz” (viscose), and viscose made from bamboo cellulose is written under that name. Modal and lyocell are separate names. Check the current text of the regulation before finalizing label wording, and consult an expert if needed.

Viscose yarn price and lead time: spinning system, count, fiber source

Viscose can be spun on ring, rotor (open-end) and air-jet systems; the system chosen, the count, the source of the fiber and whether the yarn is raw or dyed change the quote. If the fiber is not in stock, the lead time gets longer; ask about this before you request the quote. If you will blend viscose with polyester or cotton, see the blended yarn page; for the properties of the fiber itself, see viscose.
