Polyester Viscose (PV) blended yarn — known as TR yarn in some markets — is the global standard raw material for suiting fabric. By combining polyester's strength, dimensional stability, and wrinkle resistance with viscose's distinctive soft drape, silky lustre, and moisture absorption, PV yarn produces fabrics that look and feel significantly more premium than 100% polyester, while offering far better practicality and durability than pure viscose. The result is the suiting industry's most important yarn: strong enough to keep its shape, soft enough to feel luxurious, and economical enough to outfit the world. Yaakan supplies PV yarn in the globally standard PV 65/35 and PV 80/20 blends, from Ne 20 to Ne 60, in ring spun and compact spun variants, FOB Xiamen.

Why PV Works
Understanding the PV Blend
Polyester and viscose have perfectly complementary properties. The blend captures the strengths of both — and eliminates the weaknesses of each.
Polyester PSF
The backbone fiber
Strength✓ High tenacity & abrasion resistance
Wrinkle✓ Excellent wrinkle recovery
Stability✓ Dimensionally stable when washed
Drape✗ Stiff, synthetic feel
Moisture✗ Very low absorption (~0.4%)
Hand✗ Synthetic, slightly warm
Viscose (Rayon)
The luxury feel fiber
Strength✗ Weaker, especially when wet
Wrinkle✗ Wrinkles and creases easily
Stability✗ Can shrink when washed
Drape✓ Exceptional fluid drape
Moisture✓ Good absorption (~11%)
Hand✓ Silky, cool, luxurious feel
PV Blend — Best of Both
The result you get
Strength✓ Good — polyester reinforces
Wrinkle✓ Good resistance — easy care
Stability✓ Stable — keeps shape & size
Drape✓ Excellent viscose drape
Moisture✓ Better than 100% polyester
Hand✓ Soft, silky, premium feel

Applications of PV Yarn
From mass-market uniform suiting to premium fashion dress fabric — PV yarn serves the full premium apparel market.
Suiting Fabric
The #1 global application. Men's suit fabric, women's suiting, blazers, and trousers are woven from PV yarn. The Ne 30/2 warp × Ne 30/1 weft construction in PV 65/35 is the global suiting industry standard, used by suit manufacturers from Bangladesh to Turkey, Egypt, India, and beyond. PV suiting combines professional appearance, easy care, and a fraction of the cost of wool.
PV 65/35Ne 30/2 WarpNe 30/1 Weft
Dress & Wrap Fabric
Women's dresses, wrap dresses, skirts, and formal occasion wear in fine PV fabric (Ne 40–60, PV 65/35). Viscose drape gives PV fabric the fluid movement and elegant hang that makes dresses look premium. Widely used by mid-market fashion brands across South Asia, the Middle East, and African markets where PV dress fabric has strong consumer appeal.
PV 65/35Ne 40 / Ne 45Compact Ring
Uniform & Corporate Suiting
Military dress uniforms, corporate blazers, airline staff uniforms, and hotel staff suiting require PV suiting fabric. The combination of professional appearance, easy maintenance, and durability through repeated laundering makes PV the preferred choice for institutional uniform programs globally. PV 80/20 is used for cost-sensitive volume programs.
PV 65/35PV 80/20Ne 20 / 30
School & Academic Blazers
PV suiting fabric is the global standard for school blazers and academic formal wear. The fabric holds shape and colour through years of institutional use. A major market across South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa where school uniform standards require woven suiting fabric. PV 80/20 in plain or twill weave is the standard specification.

Traditional & Cultural Wear
PV fabric is widely used in traditional garments across the Middle East and South Asia — thobe, formal shalwar kameez, churidar suiting, and ethnic formal wear. The fabric's drape and appearance closely mimic natural wool suiting at a fraction of the cost, making it the dominant choice in markets where traditional formal wear is worn daily.
PV 65/35Ne 30 – 45Plain & twill
Premium Shirting
Fine PV yarn in Ne 40–60 (PV 65/35, compact spun) produces premium shirting fabric with exceptional smoothness, drape, and a silky feel superior to cotton shirting at similar price points. Popular for formal dress shirts in markets that value a silk-like hand without the cost of actual silk or luxury blends.

Common Questions
PV Yarn FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about polyester viscose blended yarn.
Polyester viscose (PV) yarn is a blended spun yarn made from polyester staple fiber and viscose (rayon) fiber. The most common blends are PV 65/35 (65% polyester, 35% viscose) and PV 80/20 (80% polyester, 20% viscose). The blend combines polyester's strength and wrinkle resistance with viscose's natural softness, drape, and moisture absorption. PV yarn is primarily used in suiting fabrics, dress materials, and premium apparel worldwide.
PV 65/35 (65% polyester, 35% viscose) is the more balanced blend — offering a good combination of polyester durability and viscose softness. It is the global standard for suiting fabric. PV 80/20 (80% polyester, 20% viscose) has higher polyester content, making it stronger, more wrinkle resistant, and more economical, with a subtle viscose improvement over 100% polyester. It is used for economy suiting and institutional uniform blazer fabrics.
Viscose (also called rayon or artificial silk) is a semi-synthetic fiber made from regenerated cellulose — derived from wood pulp. It has a smooth, silky texture, exceptional drape, and breathability comparable to silk at much lower cost. However, viscose alone is weak when wet and prone to wrinkling. Adding polyester to viscose compensates for these weaknesses: the polyester provides strength, dimensional stability, and wrinkle resistance, while the viscose contributes the drape, soft feel, and cool comfort that 100% polyester cannot achieve.
100% polyester suiting fabric tends to feel stiff, have a synthetic sheen, and lacks the natural drape expected in quality suiting. Adding 35% viscose fundamentally changes the fabric: viscose's cellulose structure absorbs moisture (keeping the wearer cooler), and critically, gives the fabric the fluid drape that makes suits hang and move naturally. The polyester provides the structure and wrinkle resistance that keeps the suit looking pressed. Together, PV suiting achieves a premium look and feel at a fraction of the cost of wool blends or 100% wool.
We supply PV yarn from Ne 20 to Ne 60. The most commonly ordered specifications are Ne 20/1, Ne 30/1, Ne 30/2, Ne 40/1, and Ne 45/1. Both PV 65/35 and PV 80/20 are available across the range; the fine counts (Ne 45–60) are primarily in PV 65/35 compact spun. For suiting fabric construction, the standard is Ne 30/2 (PV 65/35) for warp and Ne 30/1 (PV 65/35) for weft. Contact us with your fabric construction and we will recommend the appropriate counts.
The MOQ for PV yarn is 500 kg per specification (blend ratio + count + ply + color). Lead time is 20–30 days from receipt of deposit. Because viscose fiber pricing is more volatile than polyester, we recommend confirming your order when you need the goods rather than placing long-term forward orders at fixed prices. Samples of 1–3 kg are available before mass orders — sample cost is refundable against the first order.
