Tencel is a wonderful warm-weather yarn that offers strength, moisture absorption and durability. Tencel is soft on the skin and offers drape and shine in weaving projects.
Tencel is made through a man-made process using naturally regenerated wood pulp. The wood fibres are sourced from sustainable plantations including eucalyptus farms and the yarn is 100% bio-degradable.
The colours shown are indicative only and are subject to slight colour variations between dye batches.
Disclaimer: Tencel yarn is not recommended for use as warp on an inkle loom, as it may not withstand the high tension required and could lead to breakage. However, it is suitable for use as weft where less tension is applied.
If the Maurice Brassard item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately up to 4 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
Can I use Tencel yarn as warp on an inkle loom?
Tencel yarn is not recommended for use as warp on an inkle loom. The high tension required for warp threads may cause the yarn to break.
Is Tencel yarn suitable for any part of inkle weaving?
Yes! Tencel yarn can be used effectively as weft in inkle weaving, where the tension is much lower and less stress is placed on the yarn.
What projects are ideal for Maurice Brassard 8/2 Tencel yarn?
This yarn is perfect for weaving scarves, shawls, lightweight garments, and drapey textiles due to its silky sheen and excellent drape. It is also popular for table runners and fine woven fabrics that require a smooth, flowing texture.
Can 8/2 Tencel yarn be used as warp?
While Tencel has excellent strength, some weavers find it challenging as warp due to its smooth, slippery nature, which may cause tension inconsistencies. Testing is recommended, and using a tighter sett can help with stability.
How does Tencel yarn compare to cotton in terms of strength?
Tencel is stronger than cotton, offering a smoother texture, higher sheen, and improved drape. Unlike cotton, Tencel is also more resistant to wrinkles and maintains its structure better over time.
Is Tencel yarn eco-friendly?
Yes, Tencel is a sustainable fiber made from wood pulp harvested from responsibly managed forests. The production process uses a closed-loop system, minimizing environmental impact and making it a biodegradable fiber.
Does 8/2 Tencel yarn dye well?
Yes! Tencel has excellent dye absorption, producing rich, vibrant colors with a subtle sheen. It works well with fiber-reactive dyes for long-lasting results.
What is the recommended sett for 8/2 Tencel yarn?
The recommended sett varies depending on the weave structure: 15–18 ends per inch (epi) for plain weave, and 20–24 epi for twill weave. A closer sett enhances structure and stability, while a looser sett allows for maximum drape.
How should I care for items made with Tencel yarn?
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and lay flat to dry to preserve the yarn’s sheen and drape. Avoid wringing or excessive agitation, as Tencel can become weakened when wet.
Can I combine 8/2 Tencel with other yarns?
Yes! Tencel pairs well with wool/silk for added softness, 8/2 cotton for extra structure, or linen for a textured, crisp finish. Mixing fibres can create unique fabrics with different textures and properties.
What is the yardage of Maurice Brassard 8/2 Tencel yarn?
Each 8 oz tube provides approximately 1,680 yards (1,530 meters) of 100% Tencel yarn, making it an economical choice for large projects.
Is Tencel yarn suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes! Tencel is known for its smooth, silky surface, which does not irritate the skin. It is an excellent choice for people with wool sensitivities who still want the luxurious feel of fine fibers.
