Tencel Twill Fabric Old Mauve

Tencel Twill Fabric Old Mauve

This Tencel Twill in Old Mauve has that dusty, muted pink-brown tone that photographs beautifully in any light, warm and soft without being sweet. The twill weave gives the fabric a fine diagonal texture you can feel under your fingers, and it catches light with a gentle, understated sheen rather than a flashy shine. Look at how it drapes in the folds, it falls in soft, rounded waves instead of stiff creases, which tells you a lot about how it will move on the body. It is the kind of fabric that looks simple in a photo but feels remarkably luxurious once you have it in your hands.

What is Tencel twill

Tencel is a lyocell fibre made from wood pulp through a closed-loop production process, which makes it one of the more sustainable choices in the fashion fabrics world. Woven in a twill structure, this fabric gets that recognisable diagonal rib you can see and feel across the surface, giving it more body and a slightly firmer hand than a plain weave Tencel. It is soft against the skin from the first wear, keeps that softness wash after wash, and breathes well, so it does not cling or feel stuffy in warmer weather. The fibre also holds colour nicely, which is why the Old Mauve stays rich and even rather than fading unevenly, and being biodegradable it fits well if you are building a more conscious wardrobe. There is no stretch in this fabric, so it holds its shape well in tailored or structured designs.

The supple drape and soft luster of this fabric make it a natural fit for garments that need to move well but still hold some structure. Think about what you could make with a fabric like this from our Tencel Twill Fabric range:
