Yarn with Lyocell (Tencel) for Knitting: Soft with a Natural Sheen

Q: Does yarn with lyocell itch?

No. Lyocell and Tencel yarn stands out for its silky feel and exceptional softness, so it does not itch and is comfortable even in garments worn directly against the skin. It is a good option for anyone looking for pleasant, lightweight and fresh plant-based fibres for knitting in spring and summer.

Q: Is yarn with Tencel vegan?

Yes. Tencel (lyocell) is a plant-based fibre obtained from cellulose, with no animal components. Balls with lyocell are usually blended with cotton, another plant-based fibre, allowing you to make fully vegan garments with a soft feel and beautiful drape.

Q: Which Tencel yarn should I choose for crochet or knitting?

It is suitable for both techniques. Thanks to its fluid drape and lightness, Tencel yarn looks beautiful in openwork crochet and knitted garments with movement. For amigurumi or items that need a firm shape, it is best to combine it with a fibre with more body.

Q: How do you wash a garment made with lyocell?

The safest option is to wash it by hand in cold water and dry it flat to maintain its shape and drape. Always check the label on the ball, as some blends can be machine washed on a delicate cycle. It is best to avoid the tumble dryer and direct heat.

Yarn with lyocell and Tencel is a plant-based fibre with a silky feel, vegan and with fluid drape, ideal for crocheting or knitting lightweight, fresh garments. At Garmon Yarns, we select balls with Tencel and OEKO-TEX certification, soft and breathable, designed for summer T-shirts, tops, shawls and transitional-season garments. It is a very pleasant fibre to work with, and its lightness and good drape make it perfect for projects with movement, with the natural sheen and coolness characteristic of lyocell.

What can you knit with lyocell and Tencel yarn?

With lyocell and Tencel yarn, you can make lightweight, fresh garments that need drape: summer T-shirts, tops, shawls, floaty dresses and fine cardigans. Its plant-based fibre provides fluidity and a silky feel, so it looks especially beautiful in knitting or crochet projects with movement.

It is lightweight and cool, very pleasant to work with and has good drape, ideal for spring and summer. Thanks to its softness, Tencel yarn is comfortable even in garments worn directly against the skin, such as cowls or fine wraps.

Yarn with Tencel and Cotton: vegan, soft and with fluid drape

Lyocell is rarely used on its own: 100% lyocell yarn is uncommon, and it is usually found blended with other plant-based fibres, especially cotton. This combination brings together the coolness and silky softness of Tencel with more body and firmness, creating a vegan, lightweight yarn with excellent drape.

If you are looking for a fabric with more structure, you can combine it with our cotton yarn, which adds firmness to summer garments.

And if you prefer another plant-based fibre with good drape, you will find alternatives in our yarn with linen. Garmon Yarns brings together a selection of soft lyocell yarn balls that do not itch and are very comfortable to knit with.
