lyocell

Dissolving wood pulp

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fabric made from wood pulp cellulose, produced through an environmentally closed-loop process that recycles its solvents.

It's soft, breathable, and stronger than cotton when wet.

Tencel is a common brand name: This lyocell blend feels silky against the skin.
