After much research, 2022 sees the addition of the Viola skirt.

​

It’s made from TENCEL™ Lyocell - a lovely fabric derived from sustainably grown wood primarily derived from FSC® and PEFC™ certified responsible forestry, using an award-winning unique closed loop system. The manufacturers provide safe and respectable working conditions for their employees, made in countries with decent environmental and social laws.

​

The luxurious, exceptionally soft fabric is perfect for Freda Silk dance skirts.  The fabric I've chosen is a plain single jersey with elastic stretch. The finish is made with singeing and mercerisation, which adds a unique luxurious touch to both look and feel. I'm really impressed by the lightness and comfort of this fabric.

 

Composition: 94% TENCEL™ Lyocell / 6% Elastane

TENCEL™ in nature’s cycle

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are extracted from sustainably grown wood using a unique closed loop system which recovers and reuses the solvents used, minimising the environmental impact of production.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres help to maintain the environmental balance by being integrated into nature´s cycle. The fibers originate from the renewable raw material wood, created by photosynthesis. The certified biobased fibres are manufactured using an environmentally responsible production process. 

​

Most TENCEL™ fibres  - Lyocell included - have been certified as biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil, freshwater, and marine conditions, and can fully revert to nature. When you choose clothes or home textiles with TENCEL™ fibres, you are not just enjoying the benefits of a nature-derived fibre; you are influencing a better tomorrow too.
