  6. Lyocell / Tencel • Made from cellulose of wood pulp, from hard woods like Eucalyptus • Hard wood is chipped, broken down with non-toxic chemicals and placed into a spinneret to produce long fibers – sugar candy process • Closed-loop sustainable process (Lenzing)  to be identified on garments • Durable, smooth and durable to wear fabric • Looks like denim material, can be made to look like wool, cotton, rayon or silk blends
