The key takeaways are that Tencel is a soft, sustainable material made from wood chips that is pleasant for the skin, and the document provides instructions for making a lace cardigan with Tencel yarn.

Tencel is made from wood chips, primarily from beech and eucalyptus trees. The wood comes from sustainable sources. Tencel is very soft, smoother than silk or wool, and highly absorbent. It is considered one of the most environmentally friendly materials.

The steps provided to make the cardigan are to cast on stitches, knit rows in garter stitch, start the lace pattern, make buttonholes, divide for fronts and back, pick up stitches for sleeves, and finish with neckband and sewing.

Tencel - your new favourite yarn.
Tencel is a organic sustainable natural material manufactured from wood
chips, primarily from beech and eucalyptus. The wood is FSC certified and
comes from natural culling of the woods or leftovers from other wood produc-
tion. Tencel is the most sustainable of materials, made with the most utterly
environmental concerns.
The uniqueness of Tencel - soft and mild for the skin. The composition of the
fibres’ smooth structure from beech and eucalyptus makes Tencel material
very pleasant for the skin. It’s softer than silk and smoother to the skin than
wool and cotton and has also a fantastic 2absorbent quality.

Good to know
Go handmade’s collection is developed and handcrafted
by the expert hands of passionate knitters.
All are knitted to meet what we find is a medium tightness
and what suits the article.

Needle size and tension


Knitters knit very differently: some knit with a needle size
2,0 mm and obtain the same size of design quality as a
person who knits with a needle size 4,0 mm. We owe this
knowledge to the team of knitters who join us.
The key to knit a specific size is a lot about the knitting
style/hands/skills, rather than the size of needles.
Therefore, we will recommend a range of needle sizes.
