Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fibre made from wood pulp. It is known for its smooth hand feel, soft drape and comfortable moisture absorption. TENCEL™ is a branded lyocell fibre from Lenzing, so not every lyocell fabric is automatically TENCEL™.
Lyocell is often used for garments that need softness, fluid movement and a refined surface. It can be woven or knitted, depending on the final fabric type and intended use.

Lyocell is made by processing cellulose into a spinnable fibre. The result is a soft, smooth and breathable fabric with a fluid drape. It often feels cooler and more supple than cotton, while still having a natural-looking appearance.
Lyocell can be used on its own or blended with fibres such as cotton, linen, polyester, viscose or elastane. Woven lyocell usually has little stretch, while knitted lyocell or lyocell with elastane can stretch more. Like many cellulose-based fabrics, lyocell can shrink or crease, so careful washing and drying are important.
