Tencel fabric has become enormously popular in the fashion world in recent years, and not without reason. This special material isn't just kind to the environment, it also offers exceptional comfort and durability. In this blog post, we take a closer look at how Tencel is made, its applications and properties, and why HOM chooses Tencel for its underwear and shirts.

How Tencel Is Made

Tencel is a brand name for the material lyocell, which is produced from wood pulp, often sourced from eucalyptus trees. These trees grow quickly and require little water, making them a sustainable source for textile production. The Tencel manufacturing process runs through a closed-loop system, in which almost all solvents and water are reused. This makes Tencel a genuinely eco-friendly choice within the textile industry.

Properties of Tencel Fabric

Tencel has a number of unique properties that make it ideal for underwear and shirts. It is:

• Soft and Breathable – Tencel feels wonderfully soft on the skin and is breathable, providing a comfortable wearing experience.
• Moisture-Regulating – The material absorbs moisture better than cotton, helping you stay dry and fresh.
• Sustainable and Hypoallergenic – Thanks to its eco-friendly production process and hypoallergenic properties, Tencel is perfect for sensitive skin.

HOM and Tencel Fabric

HOM chose to use Tencel for a selection of its underwear and shirts, as this material fits perfectly with the brand's focus on quality and comfort. Tencel's breathability and moisture regulation make it exceptionally well-suited for underwear. These Tencel items are available at hom-shop.com, the place for top-quality HOM underwear.
