Washed Sand – Lyocell

This 5 oz lyocell in a washed sand (warm beige) color is one of the lighter weights of this fabric. It can be used to make blouses as well as warm weather bottoms. The uneven way the fabric takes in the dye gives a washed look that can be very desirable for apparel-making. Lyocell (brand name Tencel) is the eco-friendly shiny star of the rayon (regenerated cellulose) family. Derived from eucalyptus trees, lyocell is made via a closed-loop manufacturing cycle that leaves minimal waste on the environment, all the while producing a buttery soft fabric with a fluid, elegant drape.
