If the fabric tag says you can wash it, go ahead. My current Tencel shirt usually goes in the dryer for 5 minutes and then I hang it to dry the rest of the way. I iron it on the lowest iron setting that will produce steam. Once ironed, it hangs really nice and doesn't crease much during wear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lyocell-fabric-care#post-1327024 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 15:34:27 +0000 Anonymous 1327024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I just Googled it too and another name for it is Tencel. I've never had anything made from it before, but I would treat it like silk probably. I found this page on how to wash Tencel : <a href="http://www.ehow.co.uk/way_5776117_care-tencel-fabric.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ehow.co.uk/way_5776.....abric.html</a>&nbsp;if it helps. I also found this : <a href="http://www.stcroixweaving.com/sWcFibers.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.stcroixweaving.com/sWcFibers.htm</a>&nbsp;third paragraph down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lyocell-fabric-care#post-1327004 Sat, 09 Aug 2014 15:17:17 +0000 TylerAnne 1327004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I got a pair of "silky" track pants from the Loft, and they are made out of Lyocell, which I hadn't heard of before. They needed ironing, and the tag says "warm" iron. That was a little hard for me to figure out, since my iron has settings by fabric type rather than a cool-hot range.</p> <p>Anyhow, I looked up Lyocell, and came across <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.simplififabric.com/pages/tencel-lyocell">this page</a>. I can't vouch for the credibility of the information on this site&nbsp;(since I haven't heard of Simplifi Fabric before). But lyocell sounds pretty awesome! Are any of you familiar with it? How do you care for it? </p>
