Slightly heavier-weight than our Safia Lyocell Twill
More pronounced twill weave

Care: Tencel shrinks about 3% after first washing and then resists shrinkage in subsequent washings. Wash on the gentle cycle (cool or warm) and hang to dry. Iron on low/med.

🌱Sustainability: Lyocell (commonly known by the brand name Tencel™) fibres are made from sustainably-sourced beechwood (harvested from certified and controlled forests in Austria), and produced in a closed-loop process where over 99% of water and solvent are reused. This reorderable twill was named after Melina Laboucan-Massimo, an environmentalist and Greenpeace campaigner whose Piitanpan Solar Project brought solar energy to her Indigenous community in the heart of the Alberta tar sands, amongst other countless acts of climate activist badassery.
