Lyocell Jean Fabric: Sustainable & Comfortable Denim | GKL Textile

Summer calls for lightweight fabrics, and GKL’s lyocell denim is ideal. I used their 7oz lyocell-cotton blend denim to make summer shorts, and they’re light enough for beach days or outdoor barbecues. The denim dries quickly, which is a plus for customers who travel or lead active lifestyles. It also has a subtle drape that gives the shorts a flattering fit. I tested the shorts in 90°F weather, and they stayed cool and comfortable. GKL’s lyocell denim has become my go-to for summer denim garments, as it combines breathability with style.

I was impressed by how colorfast GKL’s lyocell denim is. I made a pair of bright blue jeans using the fabric, and after 20 washes, the color is still as vivid as the day I made them. There’s no bleeding onto other clothes, which is a common issue with dyed denim. The lyocell fiber holds dye well, ensuring consistent color across every yard of fabric. My customers love that their jeans don’t fade, even with frequent wear. GKL’s strict quality control for dyeing means I never have to worry about uneven color in an order.
