Tencel is a brand name for a type of sustainable fabric made from wood pulp. It is a form of regenerated cellulose made by dissolving pulp and dry jet-wet spinning, and is a semi-synthetic fiber used to make textiles for clothing and other purposes. Tencel is produced by environmentally friendly processes derived from natural raw materials. It is a popular fabric of choice for more conscious clothing brands, and is used in everything from casual wear to underwear to activewear. Tencel is known for its soft feel, durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, which make it an exceptional fabric for temperature regulation. Tencel is manufactured in two main versions: lyocell and modal, and is sometimes blended with other materials such as cotton and polyester to balance the characteristics of the different materials. Tencel is one of the most sustainable fibers because its harvested from certified wood sources and is fully compostable and biodegradable.
