Tencel is a type of rayon, so it has great drape, sheen, and moisture absorbency. The colors can be intense or delicate and the smooth surface shows off intricate woven patterns. This is one of our favorite yarns for scarves and shawls. It doesn't hold heat like wool or get clammy like synthetics, so it makes terrific spring and summer accessories.

Please note: This is a beautiful, supple yarn that makes a great weft. This particular Tencel can be challenging to use as a warp, so for warp, we recommend 8/2 Bamboo, which is stronger and comes in many of the same colors.
