FSC®-certified viscose yarns

Viscose yarns from a controlled source of raw materials.

In addition to our cotton yarns, we now also produce FSC®-certified viscose yarns at our spinning mill in Velen. This allows us to expand our range to include a versatile cellulose-based yarn grade for further textile processing.

FSC viscose yarns are made from cellulose, which is predominantly derived from wood. They therefore belong to the category known as man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF). Viscose yarns are soft and absorbent and can be used in a wide variety of textile products.

FSC® Label

FSC®-certified. Traceable from the forest to the fibre.

For our viscose yarns, we use only viscose fibres from FSC®-certified sources. FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council and certifies responsible forest management. Furthermore, the FSC® label guarantees that only certified materials are passed on through the supply chain. As a wood-based textile fibre, viscose is also included.

This means you receive a yarn quality where the origin of the raw material is verified in accordance with defined FSC requirements – and concrete proof for your own textile supply chain.
 

A versatile textile raw material. Spun with Velen’s yarn expertise.

Viscose yarns are a relatively new addition to our range. We have been spinning them since 2026. When processing the fibres, we rely on what has set our spinning mill apart for decades: textile expertise, modern open-end spinning technology and the customisation of our yarns to meet our customers’ requirements.

The more precisely we understand your further processing and intended use, the more precisely we can tailor the yarn quality to suit.
 

FSC®-certified viscose yarns for your textile supply chain.

For brands, retailers and textile manufacturers, the origin of the raw materials used in their products is becoming increasingly important. With FSC®-certified viscose yarn, you can document this origin via an internationally recognised certification system.

This provides you with concrete evidence for your textile supply chain and – in accordance with FSC® guidelines – for your product communication.
