As parents, nothing is more important than ensuring our babies are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. One of the most significant factors in achieving this is choosing the right fabric for their clothing, especially for babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema.
This is where TENCEL™ Micromodal comes into play. It is not just a fabric; it is a commitment to softness, sustainability, and the well-being of your baby. Hamako is proud to be a certified brand using TENCEL™ Micromodal, setting new standards in the baby clothing industry.
What is TENCEL™ Micromodal?
TENCEL™ Micromodal is a premium, eco-friendly fabric derived from sustainably sourced beechwood trees. It is a part of the TENCEL™ family, which includes Lyocell and Modal, but Micromodal stands out as the finest and softest grade. The process of creating TENCEL™ Micromodal is a marvel of modern textile technology, combining sustainability with luxury.
TENCEL™ Micromodal is a premium, eco-friendly fabric derived from sustainably sourced beechwood trees.
The production of TENCEL™ Micromodal begins with responsibly managed beechwood forests. The wood is processed into pulp and then into fibres through an environmentally friendly, closed-loop process. This process recycles nearly all the water and solvents used, significantly reducing environmental impact. The result is an incredibly fine fiber that is spun into yarns and ultimately woven into fabric. This fabric is characterised by its silky smoothness, lightweight feel, and exceptional breathability, making it the perfect choice for baby clothing.
Why TENCEL™ Micromodal is Ideal for Baby Clothing
1. Unmatched Softness: TENCEL™ Micromodal is renowned for its superior softness. The fibers are finer than silk, giving the fabric a silky-smooth texture that feels gentle against even the most delicate skin. For babies, whose skin is up to five times thinner than an adult’s, this level of softness is crucial. It helps prevent irritation, making TENCEL™ Micromodal the perfect choice for sensitive skin.
2. Hypoallergenic and Gentle: Babies with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema require extra care. TENCEL™ Micromodal’s hypoallergenic properties make it ideal for such needs. The fabric’s fine fibres prevent friction and reduce the risk of allergic reactions, providing a soothing touch that helps to keep the skin calm and comfortable.
3. Breathable and Moisture-Wicking: TENCEL™ Micromodal is highly breathable, allowing air to circulate freely, which helps regulate a baby’s body temperature. Additionally, it has excellent moisture-wicking properties, drawing moisture away from the skin and allowing it to evaporate quickly. This keeps the baby dry and comfortable, reducing the likelihood of rashes and skin irritations.
4. Durable and Long-Lasting: Despite its delicate feel, TENCEL™ Micromodal is surprisingly strong and durable. It maintains its softness and shape even after multiple washes, ensuring that baby clothing made from this fabric remains in excellent condition over time. Parents can trust that Hamako’s TENCEL™ Micromodal garments will stand the test of time, providing lasting comfort for their little ones.
The Best Grade of TENCEL™: Micromodal’s Distinct Advantages
Among the various TENCEL™ fabrics, Micromodal is the gold standard for baby clothing. While TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal are both excellent choices, TENCEL™ Micromodal offers unparalleled softness and lightweight comfort. The fibres are so fine that they create a fabric that feels almost weightless, making it ideal for baby clothing where comfort is paramount.
TENCEL™ Micromodal is also incredibly versatile, allowing for a variety of fabric finishes that enhance its softness and drape. This versatility makes it possible to create garments that are not only comfortable but also stylish, with a luxurious feel that sets them apart from other baby clothing options.
A Fabric That’s Good for the Planet
In addition to its exceptional qualities for baby clothing, TENCEL™ Micromodal is a champion of sustainability. The production process is designed to have minimal impact on the environment. The closed-loop process used in creating TENCEL™ Micromodal ensures that almost all of the solvents and water are recovered and reused, reducing waste and conserving resources.
Furthermore, the beechwood trees used in the production of TENCEL™ Micromodal are sourced from sustainably managed forests, where biodiversity is maintained, and ecosystems are protected. This commitment to environmental stewardship aligns perfectly with Hamako’s values, as we strive to offer products that are not only good for your baby but also good for the planet.
