Tencel - A Naturally Harmonious Blend
Soft and smooth to the touch with a luxurious sheen and flattering drape, TENCEL™ Lyocell boasts many properties which perfectly complement wool.
Harvested from sustainably managed wood sources, TENCEL™ Lyocell is certified as biodegradable and compostable, making this yarn revertible back to nature.
Grazing in the beautiful wilderness, Falkland Islands sheep enjoy some of the greenest conditions and produce the finest fleece, prized for its purity and handle.
Fully traceable and derived from natural origins, this unique fibre blend leads to a yarn with great strength, natural breathability and gentleness against the skin.
