Lyocell is classified as a manmade fiber. It is also a regenerated fiber.

Made from cellulose found in wood pulp, which has been harvested from tree farms.

The Process of Regenaration

1.Logging 2.Wood chips 3.Pulp Stock 4.Cellouse 5.Disolving the cellulose 6. Filtering

Dry-Jet Wet Spinning

Solvent Nmethylmorpholine n-oxide(NMPO) is used to dissolve cellulose

Showerhead spinneret to make the filaments, which spun into water
