37. TENCIDOU - 100% Fingering Tencel

A summer yarn with an extreme sheen! Fine and lightweight, it will make summer tops that you won't even feel under the hottest sun—much lighter than cotton.

It is only available in a limited selection of colors because, being a 100% plant-based yarn, it is not dyed using the same methods or pigments as animal fibers; therefore, the colors in the regular catalog cannot be applied to it.

It takes dye quite intensely, but there is some color bleeding during the first few washes. This does not affect the yarn's color density; it doesn't fade, it's simply the excess saturation that washes out. Be careful not to wash it with other fabrics.

Tencel Lenzing certified is a Lyocell fiber (a cellulose fiber made from wood, most often eucalyptus), compostable and biodegradable. It is manufactured using innovative circuits, reusing in a closed loop the water resources and products needed to manufacture the fiber.
