FAQ About Viscose & Bamboo Silk Fibre Rugs
Where does the name Viscose come from?
In 1894, English chemist Charles Fredrick Cross patented his artificial silk as "Viscose". He names the material "Viscose" because its production involved the use of a highly sticky viscous solution. The first commercial viscose was produced by the British company Courtaulds Fibres in 1905.
Courtaulds formed an American division to produce their formulation in the United States in 1910. In the USA the name "Rayon" was adopted in 1924. In Europe though, the yarn itself remained known as "Viscose", which has been ruled an acceptable term for Rayon by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Age Well Kiwi
We are a new support group for seniors. We meet once a month to share our experience and discuss our challenges & concerns.
With the growth of our ageing population, and more seniors living alone, this group would explore and advocate/address the social, emotional and physical needs of our seniors, and promote positive and healthy ageing.
We meet on the first Saturday afternoon of the month in Mt. Roskill. Our next meeting will be 3 Jan 2026.
If you are interested in joining us and contribute your ideas, knowledge, experience, talents and resources, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at agewellkiwi@gmail.com.
