Oh yes and it wrinkles badly too. I don't buy it for that reason.
Rayon has a tendency to shrink when washed, especially if exposed to hot water or high heat during drying. To prevent shrinkage, it is recommended to hand wash rayon in cold water or use a gentle cycle on the washing machine and lay flat to dry.
viscose (also known as viscose rayon) is a group of fabrics and yarns produced by extruding cellulose solution through holes in a spinneret, then coagulating the resulting filaments in an acid (the viscose process). There are several different sort of viscose fibres made by modifying this process, eg crimped, hollow, high tenacity (stronger). So viscose rayon is a particular type of cellulose fibre made using the viscose process, and it's also often called just 'viscose' or just 'rayon', because it's the commonest kind of rayon. Other kinds of rayon are cuprammonium rayon and acetate rayon.
The abbreviation for rayon is "Viscose".
Yes, rayon can shrink when washed if not washed properly. It is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cold water to minimize shrinkage. It is also important to follow the care instructions on the garment to prevent shrinkage.
Some rayon will shrink when washed, and some types also bleed onto the clothes they are washed with. Be sure to check the washing instructions printed on the label of the garment. You can also minimize damage by putting the rayon into a mesh bag, then putting it into the washer.
The care label will tell you whether it can be washed. Viscose is a semi synthetic/ semi natural fabric ie it is synthesised natural plant material - and should not be washed in biological detergent whose enzymes can seriously affect the fabric - it can shrink as well as deteriorate the fibres. This applies to Rayon and other trade names of viscose and viscose related fabrics.

The common name for rayon is viscose rayon or art silk.
Wood fiber. Some rayons shrink or lose their shape (or their dye) when put into water, so most rayons should be handled with care in cleaning.

Viscose is a semi-synthetic fiber known for its softness, breathability, and drape. It has a similar feel to natural fibers like cotton and is often used in clothing, bed linens, and other textiles. Viscose is prone to wrinkling and can shrink when washed unless treated properly.
Yes. Technically it usually refers to viscose cellulose nitrate (Rayon).
