TENCEL® waddings - thin but warm

TENCEL®’s reputation is expanding as the absolute sports fiber.
It is now being used in wadding outdoor clothing. TENCEL® wads are as warm as or warmer than those of an equal portion of polyester. TENCEL® waddings can be used in fashionable athletic jackets, which offer great freedom of movement and an optimum wear comfort.

TENCEL® - handicraft from Ghana

At a small company in the middle of Ghana, scarves are made of TENCEL® yarns without the help of machines, electricity or other automated means.
The yarn, which is imported from Austria, is woven into unique and fine accoutrements as a result of the dexterity of the Africans who work there – each and every scarf is unique. This project provides many farmer fringe groups with jobs where they can earn three times more than the common minimum wage in Africa.
