More to Know

Discover Our Lyocell Fabric by the Yard

Lyocell fabric is a modern, eco-conscious material crafted from wood-based fibers using a sustainable manufacturing process. It is prized for its silky feel, excellent moisture absorption, and breathability, making it comfortable to wear in various climates. This fabric is durable yet soft, blending the benefits of natural fibers with innovative production techniques that minimize environmental impact. Ideal for everything from everyday clothing to home décor, lyocell offers a perfect balance of style, comfort, and sustainability.

What Is Lyocell Fabric Made Of?

Lyocell fabric is made from cellulose fibers derived from sustainably harvested wood pulp, usually from eucalyptus, beech, or spruce trees. The production process uses a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents, making lyocell an eco-friendly alternative to many synthetic fabrics. This natural origin contributes to its softness, breathability, and biodegradability.

Does Lyocell Fabric Shrink?

Lyocell fabric is generally resistant to shrinkage when cared for properly. However, like most natural fiber textiles, it can shrink if exposed to high heat during washing or drying. To maintain the size and texture of your clothing lyocell fabric, it’s recommended to wash it in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Advantages of Lyocell Fabric

  • Softness and Comfort: Lyocell cloth is exceptionally smooth and gentle on the skin, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.
  • Breathability: Its moisture-wicking properties keep you cool and dry by drawing sweat away from the body.
  • Durability: Despite its soft feel, lyocell fabric is strong and resistant to tearing.
  • Eco-Friendly: Made with sustainable materials and a closed-loop manufacturing process that minimizes environmental impact.
  • Hypoallergenic: Naturally resistant to dust mites and bacteria, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers.

Lyocell Fabric vs. Other Fabrics

Lyocell vs. Cotton: Both are breathable and soft, but lyocell is generally smoother and better at moisture management. It also tends to wrinkle less and is more environmentally friendly due to sustainable production.

Lyocell vs. Polyester: Polyester is durable and wrinkle-resistant but non-breathable and petroleum-based. Lyocell offers superior comfort and biodegradability but requires gentler care.

Lyocell vs. Rayon: Both are made from cellulose fibers, but lyocell uses a more eco-conscious production process. Lyocell is stronger, less prone to wrinkles, and more breathable than traditional rayon.

Lyocell vs. Modal: Modal is a type of rayon similar to lyocell but typically softer with a silkier finish. Both have eco-friendly manufacturing processes; however, lyocell is often considered more sustainable.

Lyocell vs. Tencel: Tencel is actually a brand name for lyocell fabric produced by Lenzing AG. Essentially, they are the same type of fiber, with Tencel representing certified lyocell fabric.

Lyocell vs. Viscose: Viscose is chemically processed like rayon but less environmentally friendly than lyocell. Lyocell provides better durability and moisture management.

  • Clothing: Perfect for shirts, dresses, blouses, activewear, and underwear because of its softness and breathability.

  • Accessories: Scarves and wraps benefit from lyocell’s drape and sheen.
  • Sustainable Fashion: Increasingly popular among eco-conscious designers for its minimal environmental footprint.
