What is tencel?

Tencel is a material known for its smooth surface, softness and breathability. It is suitable for a wide range of uses and feels wonderfully comfortable against the skin. In Ommellinen’s selection, you will find plain-coloured Tencel in beautiful, carefully chosen shades.

Lightweight yet opaque

Tencel is easy to handle when sewing and a joy to wear as a finished garment. It is not see-through, yet not heavy either making it an ideal choice for shirts, dresses and lightweight trousers.

Fresh all day long

Tencel is breathable and light. It wicks moisture effectively and feels cool even in warmer weather. It helps naturally regulate your body temperature, keeping you feeling fresh and comfortable throughout the day. This makes Tencel a practical choice for all kinds of clothing.

Soft finish and polished look

Tencel’s soft surface feels pleasant and looks refined without requiring much effort. It doesn’t crease easily and drapes beautifully, reducing the need for ironing. Even when styled casually it leaves garments a clean and polished appearance – a perfect everyday fabric that is also visually appealing.

A versatile material for variety of uses

Tencel goes well both with casual and more dressed-up styles. Its properties and appearance make it a great match for various garments. Ommellinen’s plain-colour range offers a simple starting point when you want to create a timeless, versatile wardrobe favourite.

A sustainable and considered choice

Tencel is an eco-friendly material made from responsibly sourced eucalyptus wood. By choosing it you support more sustainable thinking without compromising on comfort or appearance. It is a fabric that brings together environmental awareness and functional qualities, benefiting both the wearer and the planet.
