Tencel

Tencel is a type of rayon, and shares rayon's qualities of drape, sheen, and moisture absorbency. The colors can be intense or delicate and the smooth surface shows off intricate woven patterns. This yarn is the same weight as 8/2 cotton, so it can be substituted for any project calling for 8/2 cotton. It's a great yarn for scarves and shawls, as it doesn't hold heat like wool or get clammy like synthetics.
