Lyocell

Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fibre used to make textiles for clothing and other purposes. It is a form of regenerated cellulose made by dissolving pulp and dry jet-wet spinning. Unlike rayon, which is made by the more common viscose processes, Lyocell production does not use carbon disulfide, which is toxic to workers and the environment.

Lyocell was originally trademarked as Tencel in 1992.
