Tencel fabric is made from wood pulp that has been chemically processed. Tencel is actually a brand name owned by the Austrian company Lenzing AG, and it refers to a few types of sustainable fabric made from wood pulp. Tencel branded lyocell and modal fibers are made from controlled and certified sourced natural raw material wood. The production processes of Tencel fibers are refined to minimize environmental impact and waste. The cotton pulp is sometimes incorporated into Tencel fabric using REFIBRA technology. Tencel fabric is extremely versatile and can adapt to a wide range of clothing types, from activewear to flowy dresses. It is soft and silky, with a lovely drape, and it feels very finely spun. According to Lenzing, Tencel has incredible absorption characteristics, 50% more than cotton, and it is more breathable and less prone to wrinkles.
