I currently don't have a mannequin, so my yarn cone will have to do for displaying these cowls!

Threading up the floor loom 56 ends in and there’s a lot to go.

Hand-dyed tencel. It is a complicated draft and I am fully expecting to find errors when I begin to weave.

Sprinkly Wrinkly is nice to spin but probs better for someone who does art yarns. It's made of merino, tencel, sari silk, and stellina (that's the glittery stuff) and I can draft it easily except for the silk bits (think it's the silk anyhoo). Those bits get a bit slubby with me.

(Hmm, you might not be able to see it there. Meh.)

Could look really interesting when I ply it. If there's enough (bought 100g so there should be) I think it'll make an awesome earwarmer/headband thingy. XD

I've been looking into the environmental impact of various fabrics, specifically (organic) cotton and linen vs tencel/lyocell, and some of the information online online about the latter seems... wrong? Or at least contradicts my direct experience with the fabrics.

Tencel uses much less water and land than cotton, and emits less total CO2, so it's supposed to be more sustainable. But of course, you have to look at the total lifespan of a garment: if your tencel t-shirt used a third of the water than a cotton shirt, but will fall apart after a year of use, then it seems more wasteful than that Dr. Who tee you got as a present twelve years ago and is still going strong. And here's where I'm confused.

If you google tencel, you'll get hundreds of articles and blog posts, most of them independent from Ecovero (the company that makes Tencel), claiming that it not only uses fewer resources than regular viscose, cotton or linen, but also lasts longer, looks better, doesn't shrink, and so on. But I own clothes made of Tencel! It behaves like viscose! Fancier viscose, sure, but it ages like milk! AND it doesn't feel cooling on the skin on hot days, which is another common claim, and it refuses to hold its shape properly!

I own a dress out of woven tencel, some t-shirts in both 100% lyocell and 50-50 blend with cotton, and a pair of trousers in a tencel-cotton twill.

The dress basically looks and feels like a cheap viscose fast fashion dress, the hems and seams twist and the fabric wants to tear at the seams and fray through them. I've already had to patch it near the pockets after two washes (in the delicate cycle!), because the fabric couldn't handle the weight of my phone.

The T-shirts are flowy, which can be nice, but the surface already looks really old, and again the necklines get twisted because the fabric isn't stable enough to hold its shape. They're serviceable, but that's about it, and if I need to look more polished or professional than my usual "just dragged myself out of bed and into the math department", I wouldn't pick any of them.

The trousers are pretty new and feel like slightly softer cotton twill, so I don't have any complaints so far, but again, the surface is showing some wear after a few washes, and they don't feel like they'll last me as long as regular cotton twill, or even the linen pants I wear every other day in the summer and still look and feel exactly the same as they did three years ago.

TL;DR: I've yet to meet a tencel garment that ages gracefully. If I have to keep replacing tencel clothes every year and they kind of look like like crap after the first month or two, I don't see how that's supposed to be better than sturdy clothes made from organic cotton and linen which will last me decades!

Help me, people. Am I just unlucky, or do others have this experience, too?

Właściwości i zastosowanie materiału Tencel w przemyśle odzieżowym

Tencel to innowacyjny materiał, który zyskał popularność w przemyśle odzieżowym dzięki swoim niezwykłym właściwościom. Jest on produkowany z celulozy drzewnej, co sprawia, że jest przyjazny dla środowiska i jednocześnie bardzo trwały. W tym artykule przyjrzymy się bliżej właściwościom Tencel oraz jego zastosowaniom w przemyśle odzieżowym.

Czym jest tencel i jakie ma właściwości?

Tencel to materiał, który powstaje z celulozy drzewnej. Jest ona naturalnym polimerem, który występuje w ścianach komórkowych roślin, oznacza to więc, że wytwarzanie tego materiału jest przyjazne dla środowiska. Do produkcji wykorzystywana jest celuloza pozyskiwana z drewna drzew iglastych, takich jak sosna czy świerk, a także z drzew liściastych, takich jak buk czy dąb.

  Materiał ten charakteryzuje się wysoką odpornością na rozciąganie oraz zgniatanie. Jest on także bardzo miękki i przyjemny w dotyku, co sprawia, że doskonale nadaje się na materiał do odzieży. Co więcej, Tencel posiada także właściwości antybakteryjne oraz przeciwdrobnoustrojowe, co jest bardzo ważne w przypadku odzieży codziennej.

Zastosowanie w przemyśle odzieżowym

Tencel jest wykorzystywany do produkcji różnego rodzaju odzieży, w tym koszul, spodni, bluzek czy sukienek. Dzięki swoim właściwościom jest idealny zarówno na lekkie, letnie ubrania, jak i na odzież przeznaczoną na chłodniejsze dni. Co więcej, materiał ten może być także łączony z innymi tkaninami, co pozwala na uzyskanie ciekawych efektów wizualnych.
