Material Composition
This premium knit blends two natural-performance fibers:
- Tencel™ (Lyocell): A sustainable, silky-smooth fiber made from responsibly sourced wood pulp in a closed-loop process. Renowned for exceptional softness, moisture absorption (50% more than cotton), and breathability.
- Wool (typically fine merino or similar): Adds natural temperature regulation, odor resistance, and gentle warmth without bulk.
Common blend ratios range from 70% Tencel™ / 30% Wool to 50/50, balancing drape, comfort, and functionality.
Fabric Structure
- Weight: 170 grams per square meter (GSM) — lightweight yet substantial enough for structured basics.
-
Knit Type: 1×1 or 2×2 rib knit, featuring alternating raised and recessed vertical columns. This creates:
- Excellent 4-way stretch and recovery
- Natural elasticity without added spandex
- A subtle textured surface with elegant drape
- Finish: Smooth handfeel with a soft sheen from Tencel™; wool adds a delicate matte depth.
