From TERRAPIN FIBERWORKS re Severn Base (Tencel):
- Fiber Content: 100% certified Tencel, 4-ply
- Origin: Italy
- Water Use: Tencel requires less water to produce than cotton fibers.
- Chemical & Pesticide Use: Tencel is a regenerated fiber made from wood pulp, a process that does involve chemicals. However, 99% of these chemicals are recovered and recycled in an efficient and eco-friendly circular production process.
- Carbon Footprint: Tencel may use up to 40% less non-renewable energy to produce than cotton fibers.
- Characteristics: Severn has dreamy shine and drape! Think silk, but vegan. It is soft and lightweight, perfect for summer tops and shawls. Knitters who have struggled with cotton in past may find Severn more approachable, since it is less drying on the hands. It does not have much hold, so it grows with time and blocking. Tencel is not recommend it for colorwork or similar projects.
