They do crease so I just wear them casually, but I wash them in the machine in cold water on a normal cycle. No delicate cycle or hand washing and they have held up well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80-viscose20-linen#post-2412858 Wed, 13 May 2026 16:43:06 +0000 slim cat 2412858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a lovely blend but the hand wash would be ideal ( or gentle cycle with drying on a hanger ). I'd like to see that fabric versus anything mixed with polyester - personal preference . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80-viscose20-linen#post-2412850 Wed, 13 May 2026 14:12:42 +0000 Angie 2412850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% viscose also tends to crease terribly &nbsp;and shrink, <b>Star.</b></p> <p>On the other hand, <b>viscose is BRILLIANT in a blend</b>. It adds a soft silky smooth drape that feels soooo good on the skin! As far as it blended with linen - I don't have personal experience with the combination. It sounds great for hot weather though!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/80-viscose20-linen#post-2412844 Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2412844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello</p> <p>Does anyone have experience with items made from 80% viscose and 20% linen?&nbsp; I know that 100% viscose does not hold up well when wet (laundering) and mixing it with other fabric types stabilises it BUT is 20% linen enough?</p> <p>I spotted a white top made from this mix that draped really nicely but I don't want an item I need to hand wash or gentle cycle.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
