Tencel®

Tencel® is the trademarked name for lyocell, which is a eco-friendly, sustainably-produced fiber made from wood. Tencel fiber is shiny, lustrous, and easy to dye, as well as being fairly easy to spin.

Tencel is stronger than cotton or viscose, and does not lose its strength when wet. Tencel fiber has more stretch than cotton but less than viscose.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for on eBay, check out the Tencel roving at Paradise Fibers. They often have an excellent selection.

Once spun into yarn, Tencel roving works beautifully for knitted garments. It is soft, breathable and light-weight, making it a great summer weight fiber. It is also shrink-resistant, wrinkle-resistant, and durable.
