Loading...Tencel™ Lyocell is a naturally derived fiber made from the cellulose of eucalyptus wood grown in certified forests. In addition to its silky softness and excellent breathability, what sets it apart is its closed-loop production process, which recovers more than 99 percent of the solvents used, drastically reducing water consumption and emissions compared to traditional fibers. Biodegradable and sourced from renewable raw materials, Tencel is one of the most responsible choices in sustainable textiles and fashion today.
Availability and packaging
Our tencel tops are available in packages of 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg per color. Each package has a natural tolerance of ±3% and contains continuous ribbon fiber. The different packages are designed for both those who need small quantities and those who need large quantities and/or want to save money. For non-ECE shipments, the packages are vacuum-packed, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the fiber returns to its original volume, with no loss of quality.

Tencel™ Lyocell fiber is a regenerated cellulose derived from sustainable eucalyptus wood, produced using environmentally friendly processes that reuse 99 percent of the solvent and reduce emissions and water consumption by 50 percent. It is FSC® certified for responsibly managed forests, making it an ethical choice for green and sustainable production. Unlike traditional viscose, it avoids toxic chemicals such as caustic soda.
Tencel™ is produced by Lenzing AG, a leading Austrian manufacturer of sustainable fibers, which guarantees a fully transparent and certified supply chain. The eucalyptus wood used comes from forests managed according to FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC™ criteria, which ensure responsible cultivation practices without illegal logging and with respect for local ecosystems. The entire production chain-from raw material to finished fiber-is certified and traceable, offering the consumer the guarantee of a product made with respect for the environment and the highest ethical standards.
The dyes used for our products meet the requirements of the OEKO-TEX standard, which ensures the control and limitation of substances potentially harmful to human health and the environment.
Fiber dyeing is carried out in our dyehouse in Italy, in compliance with current European regulations on chemicals and environmental safety, including the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), which governs the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances.
Operating within the European Union also entails compliance with additional provisions on environmental protection and textile product safety, such as the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), relating to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. This regulatory framework ensures that dyeing processes are conducted according to high standards of safety, traceability and environmental responsibility, offering a reliable product for both the end user and the environment.

Since colors may vary depending on your monitor or device settings, we recommend purchasing our Color Card to check the shades in person before placing your final order. Want to check the quality of the material? Choose our Sample Box.
CAUTION: All of our colors generally exhibit high lightfastness and fastness to washing. However, fluorescent colors (80's collection), in addition to having a lower lightfastness, may also suffer significant color loss in the presence of alkaline or particularly aggressive soaps, as well as with prolonged processing or washing. This phenomenon can occur, to varying degrees, even with dark and particularly bright colors. For materials dyed with these shades, we always recommend that a preliminary processing and washing test be carried out on a small sample before making the final design. This precaution is essential, especially when dyed materials are combined with unbleached or light-colored fibers.
Finally, to best preserve the colors, it is recommended that artifacts not be dried in direct sunlight, but in a shady place.
