Lyocell is a fiber manufactured from cellulose. It has a similar hand and drape to rayon, but is stronger, more durable and often machine washable. Lyocell is rich in color and has a subtle luster. It has good absorbency and resists wrinkling and shrinkage. Here are some general guidelines about caring for lyocell:
- Most lyocell can be machine washed, but some garments require dry cleaning. Make sure you check the labels for specific care instructions.
- Some delicate knits made from lyocell should be hand-washed and dried flat.
- Lyocell is similar to cotton in that it will wrinkle, but it is fairly easy to iron and can take medium to high temperature settings.
