PRODUCT FAQ
What is Tencel and where does this fibre come from?
Tencel is a cellulose-based fibre that can be used similarly to mercerised cotton, bamboo, or silk. It features a smooth, soft, and silky texture. It is a member of the rayon family but isn't as common as some other fibres. This is partly because Tencel itself isn't a kind of material, but rather a brand name for a combination of lyocell and modal. Tencel is used in plenty of everyday clothing and fabric such as denim, wraps, blankets, and towels, among many others. It can be blended with a variety of other fibres such as linen, silk, cotton, wool, rayon, polyester, and nylon.
