About this material

Nature fibre texile

Tencel Lyocell is a natural fibre made from cellulose wood pulp derived from the eucalyptus tree. The fibre is as strong as polyester and as soft as silk. It has a high breathability and good moisture management.

It takes up 50% more moisture than cotton, but required for drying only around 20 to 30% of the energy than is needed for cotton.
