This tencel is imported from Canada and dyed in Teresa Ruch's Oregon Studio. It is made by pulping hard wood into a slurry and extruding it through a chemical which hardens the fibers so they can be gathered and spun into yarns. The chemical is then filtered and reused. The wood is from junk trees that grow in poor soil with very little water and is considered an environmentally friendly product.
Skeins are 4 oz. or 312 yds. (sport/dk weight) and 100% Tencel. Each skein will make a warp for a scarf of about 8" x 80" or will knit a scarf of the same size.
Suggested knitting needle size is a size 4-6
Sett for slightly warp faced twill is 15 epi Plain weave or 18 epi twill with a 5/2 weft yarn of tencel, rayon, cotton or silk.
