It is made from wood using non-toxic solvents. This means it isn\u2019t nylon, polyester, and other plastic-based fibers. It took over a century to even begin biodegrading. Under the right conditions, lyocell can decompose for several months and is more environmentally friendly than many other fabrics.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>More hygienic than many other fabrics: <\/b>The breathability of lyocell is very high. So, It doesn\u2019t harbor bacteria, smell, and musty. This is one reason lyocell is popular in the gym and damp environments like bathrooms.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Lyocell is soft and strong: <\/b>Lyocell is strong even when lyocell is wet. Lyocell is heavily used to make medical equipment such as conveyors and safety equipment.\u00a0Despite being strong, lyocell is also soft. Lyocell is very popular in the manufacture of\u00a0sateen sheets, soft towels, and other household items.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Lyocell regulates temperature and absorbs moisture very well: <\/b>Lyocell is stretchy, efficient at absorbing moisture, temperature regulating, and antibacterial. Because lyocells are small, hydrophilic fibers. This means that lyocell makes us dry yet comfy. These moisture-wicking properties also make lyocell useful for bath towels and even diaper inserts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8498\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8498\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8498 size-full\" title=\"what type of fabric is lyocell\" src=\"https:\/\/dugarco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/what-is-lyocell-fabric-6-2.jpg\" alt=\"what type of fabric is lyocell\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dugarco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/what-is-lyocell-fabric-6-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dugarco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/what-is-lyocell-fabric-6-2-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dugarco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/what-is-lyocell-fabric-6-2-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dugarco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/what-is-lyocell-fabric-6-2-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8498\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lyocell can blend with other fabrics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Easy to dye with non-toxic dyes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lyocell is very absorbent.
