Has anyone on here used Tencel before? In the past I have been a big fan of wool fabrics, but have recently gone vegan so don't really want to buy more wool. I was curious if anyone has used this material before and if it's good for caps or arm warmers and how similar it is to wool.

Thanks!

Old post but if you are still wondering, Tencel is a branded version of Rayon. It is made from cellulose (plant fiber), usually fast growing trees like poplar. The moisture management properties are slightly better than cotton and far worse than polyester, nylon or wool.
