What Is Acetate Blend Knit Fabric?
Acetate is a manufactured fibre made by chemically modifying cellulose from wood pulp. It is prized for a silky lustre, a cool touch and a crisp, flowing drape, which is why it has long been used for linings and eveningwear. In our library, 64 knit qualities contain acetate, mostly 190–320 GSM, knitted as double knit, rib, jersey and scuba. Acetate is usually a supporting fibre, about 20% of a typical blend, though some qualities run from 44% up to 95% acetate. Acetate has lower strength than most fibres, softens under a hot iron and can be damaged by some solvents, including acetone, so set care instructions after testing a sample.
02
Acetate Blend Knit Fabrics by Composition
Lyocell/acetate is our most common silky blend; cotton/acetate and high-acetate qualities give more lustre and body.
| Fabric type | Fabric examples | Apparel applications |
|---|---|---|
| Lyocell/acetate and lyocell/acetate/spandex | 120–230 GSM, such as LW26133 (63.8% lyocell / 34.4% acetate / 1.8% spandex) at 210 GSM | Camisoles, dresses and T-shirts |
| Cotton/acetate | Around 190 GSM, such as P3239 (56% cotton / 44% acetate) | T-shirts, polo shirts and streetwear tees |
| High-acetate stretch blends | 130–320 GSM, such as 81036 (95% acetate / 5% spandex) at 220 GSM | Dresses, T-shirts and fitted tops |
| Thermal blends with acetate | 260–430 GSM, such as P4358-430G (40% acrylic / 22% polyester / 20% acetate / 8% viscose / 5% wool / 5% spandex) at 430 GSM | Thermal tops, sweatshirts and outer layers |
03
Acetate Blend Knit Weights for Your Collection
Choose 180–235 GSM acetate blends for camisoles, 185–230 GSM for draped dresses, 180–220 GSM for T-shirts, 180–230 GSM for loungewear, and 260–430 GSM thermal blends for base layers and sweatshirts.
04
Acetate Blend Knit vs Lyocell Knit and Viscose Knit
All three come from wood cellulose, but acetate is chemically modified, which gives it a different lustre and care profile.
| Feature | Acetate Blend Knit | Lyocell Knit | Viscose Knit |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the fibre is made | Cellulose chemically modified to acetate | Pulp dissolved in a solvent | Viscose process |
| Look and drape | Silky lustre, crisp flow | Soft lustre, fluid drape | Soft sheen, heavy drape |
| Heat and care | Low ironing temperature | Moderate | Moderate; weaker when wet |
| Typical weights in our library | 190–320 GSM | 160–230 GSM | 220–300 GSM |
| Typical garments | Camisoles, dresses and lustrous tees | Tees, base layers and camisoles | Draped dresses and tops |

Acetate Blend Knit Fabric Recommendations
Xiwen Zhang, our co-founder and CEO, recommends these acetate blends and weights for the silky, lustrous pieces our customers develop most often, drawing on our knit fabric experience since 2009.
SILKY AND COOL
Acetate-Blend Camisoles
- Weight
- 180–235 GSM
- Composition
- Lyocell/acetate or lyocell/acetate/spandex
- Hand feel
- Silky, cool and smooth
Read moreRead less — Acetate-Blend Camisoles
Choose 180–235 GSM lyocell/acetate for camisoles and slip tops. The acetate adds a silky lustre to the lyocell base, giving a knit camisole the look of a woven satin with the comfort of stretch.
LUSTRE THAT MOVES
Draped Knit Dresses
- Weight
- 185–230 GSM
- Composition
- Lyocell/acetate/spandex or modal/acetate/spandex
- Hand feel
- Fluid, smooth and lustrous
Read moreRead less — Draped Knit Dresses
185–230 GSM acetate blends work well for draped and bias-look dresses. The crisp flow of acetate keeps folds defined, while lyocell or modal softens the hand.
THE MOST COMMON ACETATE USE
Lustrous T-Shirts
- Weight
- 180–220 GSM
- Composition
- Cotton/acetate or high-acetate stretch blends
- Hand feel
- Smooth, with a soft shine
Read moreRead less — Lustrous T-Shirts
For T-shirts with a dressier finish, start with 180–220 GSM cotton/acetate or acetate/spandex. T-shirts are the most common use for acetate in our library, and the lustre lifts a plain tee for evening and smart-casual wear.
SATIN FEEL, KNIT COMFORT
Loungewear
- Weight
- 180–230 GSM
- Composition
- Lyocell/acetate/spandex or lyocell/acrylic/acetate/spandex/wool
- Hand feel
- Smooth, cool and soft
Read moreRead less — Loungewear
Choose 180–230 GSM acetate blends for lounge sets and sleepwear. They give the satin look of woven pyjamas in a knit that moves and recovers with the body.
ACETATE IN WARM BLENDS
Thermal Base Layers
- Weight
- 260–430 GSM
- Composition
- Acrylic/polyester/acetate/viscose/wool/spandex
- Hand feel
- Soft, brushed and warm
Read moreRead less — Thermal Base Layers
260–430 GSM thermal blends with acetate suit warm base layers and brushed sweatshirts. Acetate adds a smoother, slightly lustrous face to an acrylic and viscose thermal base.

Acetate Blend Knit Fabric FAQs
Is acetate knit the same as viscose or lyocell knit?
No. All three start from wood cellulose, but acetate is chemically modified, which gives it a crisper drape, a silkier lustre and lower heat tolerance. Viscose and lyocell are regenerated cellulose fibres.
How much acetate is in your acetate-blend knits?
Usually about 20%, though some qualities contain 44–95% acetate. We state the exact share for each quality; a higher share gives more lustre and a crisper drape.
Should I choose a lighter or fuller acetate blend?
Choose 180–235 GSM for camisoles, tees and draped dresses, where lustre and flow matter most. Move to 260–430 GSM thermal blends for base layers and sweatshirts that need warmth.
Which tests matter for acetate-blend knits?
Acetate is sensitive to heat, so state the wash temperature and drying method for the shrinkage test and check pressing on the sample. Acetate also takes its own dye class, so in lyocell/acetate blends both fibres are checked against the lab dip under the agreed light source, and washing fastness staining is graded.
What is the minimum order quantity for acetate-blend knit fabric?
Stock fabric orders start at 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour. Custom-colour orders start at 200 kg per colour.
