Tencel
American make in Georgia from fibers imported from Austria
Eucalyptus
fiber naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria, is a high-performance product
with superior strength, softness, drape, and sheen. The fabrics that result are
stable and durable, but also soft and silky, with very low pilling. And TENCEL®
is eco-friendly, too: Fibers come from sustainable eucalyptus wood.
Sustainability
TENCEL® is spun from fibers
made from Austria Eucalyptus wood pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship
Council. The wood is processed in a “closed loop” system recognized by the
European Union as both safe and sustainable. This yarn has also been certified
according to the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, a rigorous testing, auditing, and
certification system for environmentally friendly textiles.
