Tencel

?? Tencel - I was recently asked if I had researched how it is made. It is touted as an eco fiber, but is it? Here's a little more info: "Tencel is made from wood pulp that is spun down to make the fiber. The process boasts environmental claims as the pulp that is harvested comes from tree farms that are continuously replanted and the spinning process uses non-toxic solvents." I suppose it is then up to the dyers to carry forth eco-friendly practices.
