Lyocell yarn

Lyocell yarn is a plant-based, man-made fibre made from cellulose extracted from sustainably sourced wood pulp, including eucalyptus, oak and birch trees. 

Produced from renewable wood sources and fully biodegradable, lyocell is manufactured using a closed-loop process that reuses solvents, making it an environmentally friendly choice for knitters looking for more sustainable materials. 

Exceptionally soft with a silky finish, lyocell drapes beautifully and creates lightweight, comfortable garments. It is also highly breathable and absorbent, wicking moisture up to 50% more effectively than cotton to help keep the body cool and dry. These qualities make it one of the best yarns for knitting summer clothing. 

Lyocell is ideal for projects such as summer tops, lightweight scarves, baby clothes and shawls. Its smooth texture makes it comfortable to wear throughout the year, and it is often blended with fibres such as cotton or silk to add strength and extra lustre, or seaweed for added health benefit. 

Naturally hypoallergenic and free from harsh processing residues, lyocell remains soft wash after wash, making it a popular choice for knitters who value both comfort and performance.
