Origin and Properties of Tencel Fabric: Sustainability and Comfort by HOM

In recent years, Tencel fabric has gained significant popularity in the fashion world, and it’s not without reason. This unique material is not only environmentally friendly but also provides high comfort and durability. In this blog post, we’ll explore the origins of Tencel, its applications, properties, and why HOM chooses to use Tencel for their underwear and shirts.

The Origin of Tencel

Tencel is the brand name for lyocell, a material made from wood pulp, often derived from eucalyptus trees. These trees grow quickly and require minimal water, making them a sustainable resource for textile production. The Tencel production process is a closed-loop system, where nearly all solvents and water are recycled, making it an environmentally responsible choice within the textile industry.

Properties of Tencel Fabric

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

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

HOM and Tencel Fabric

HOM has chosen to use Tencel for a selection of their underwear and shirts, as this material aligns perfectly with their focus on quality and comfort. The breathability and moisture-wicking properties of Tencel make it ideal for underwear. These Tencel items are available at hom-shop.com, the best place for high-quality HOM underwear.
