## Smooth or peach-skin lyocell

### Smooth

A smooth surface gives the garment an even finish.

Two sage lyocell twill swatches, smooth on the left and peach-skin on the right 

### Peach-skin

Peach-skin gives the cloth a fine, soft surface with reduced lustre.

State the surface finish separately from the fabric construction and weight.

## Specifying lyocell on a tech pack

- **Garment**: Name the style and include its drawing or measurements.

- **Fibre content**: Give each fibre and its percentage, including any cotton in the blend. See [cotton](/materials/cotton) for cotton specifications.

- **Required fibre brand**: Name TENCEL™ Lyocell if required.

- **Construction and yarn count**: Specify the weave or knit and the yarn count system. Use the [yarn count converter](/tools/yarn-count-converter) for conversions. For a denim construction, include the [denim fabric](/materials/denim-fabric) specification.

- **Finished GSM**: State the finished weight in g/m² and its tolerance. Use the [GSM calculator](/tools/gsm-calculator) to calculate weight from a measured swatch.

- **Colour and surface reference**: Include the colour and surface references for the required finish. Check opacity on the blouse fabric.

- **Care and performance**: Set the care procedure and the permitted dimensional change. Give acceptance levels for colourfastness and appearance after laundering.

## Common questions about lyocell

### Is TENCEL the same as lyocell?

No. TENCEL™ is Lenzing AG’s trademark and names both Lyocell and [Modal](/materials/modal) fibres. Specify the fibre name and its percentage, not just “100% TENCEL”. We source TENCEL™ Lyocell when you specify it.

### How do we specify shrinkage for lyocell fabric?

Set a limit for the finished quality and check it under the specified care procedure. Use the fabric’s length and width results for approval.

### Do you sell lyocell fabric separately?

Yes. We sell lyocell fabric separately, by the metre, to garment makers.

### How long does a lyocell sample take?

First lyocell samples take 4 to 10 days from an agreed brief. Bulk ships from 35 days after sample approval.
