Some information about Viyella
Viyellais a blend of wool and cotton first woven in 1893 inEngland, and soon to be the "first branded fabric in the world".It was made of 55 percentmerinowool and 45 percent cotton in atwillweave, developed by James and Robert Sissons ofWilliam Hollins & Co,spinnersandhosiers. The brand name, first registered as atrademarkin 1894,and registered in theUnited Statesin 1907, soon covered not only the original fabric, to be sold by the yard (piece goods), but also clothing. At first this was made by separate businesses, but it was not long before Hollins started producing their own clothes and offering franchises to manufacturers who would use the Viyella label. Following increasing emphasis on garment manufacture over the years, Viyella is now a fashion brand for clothes and home furnishings made of a variety of fabrics. The original wool/cotton blend is no longermade.
