Basics of Tencel:

Tencel is a cellulosic fiber deriving from Forest Stewardship Council approved wood pulp to define a new standard of sustainable textiles. Tencel fibers are known for their natural comfort, luxuriously soft handfeel, and environmentally responsible closed loop production process which recovers 99% of its use of solvent and water.

Benefits of Tencel:

• Eco Print
  Made from the natural cellulose found in wood pulp. The fiber is economical in its use of energy and natural resources and is fully biodegradable.
• Color Rich
  Tencel was created with color in mind, because of the fibers’ high absorbency. The fabrics can be dyed to high quality standards.
• Moisture Absorbent
  This eco fabric has natural breathability and 50% greater moisture absorption than cotton.
• Anti-bacterial
  Due to its moisture management, Tencel is also anti-bacterial.
• Feel of Fabric
  Similar to cotton in feel while maintaining a silky drape.
• Great for sensitive skin
  Tencel’s smooth fiber surface feels soft and supple against the skin and its incredible wicking abilities keep the skin dry, making Tencel a great fabric for sensitive skin.
• Durable
  This super fiber is resilient when both wet and dry.
