Pima Tencel

 
Cascade Pima Tencel,
made in Peru

natural

Lustrous, silky, and soft, Pima Tencel is a 50/50 blend of finest the Peruvian Pima cotton and Tencel (Lyocell). It has the appearance of a fine cotton-silk blend, but it is twice less in cost. Pima Tencel is a next-to-the-skin, eco-friendly yarn. It is also amazingly durable. Pima Tencel is suitable for year-round knitwear, hand knit or chunky crochet vests, pullovers, T-shirts, summer tops, and accessories. It is also great for men's outfits: scarves, pullovers, and waistcoats. * Tencel, Viscose and Rayon are often called "fake silks", because they are all natural fibers made of wood pulp.
