Tencel is a staple fibre. That is it is cut into staple lengths during production so that it can be processed into yarns and nonwoven fabrics on conventional textile processing machinery. The cut lengths are similar in length to cotton or to wool.

Continuous filament Tencel yarns are not produced but in theory could be. In a filament yarn all of the fibres in the yarn have the same length as the piece of yarn.

What is staple in fiber?

staple is an element of fiber, pertaining to the length of an individual fibrous hair. Staple length is useful to handspinners to know how finely to spin their wool based on the breed. Staple can vary between breeds of wool or other fiber, e.g. Merino commonly has a staple of 2-4 inches, while others may have very long staple length. To see for yourself, hold a small piece of fiber or roving from either end and gently pull outwards, until the fiber pulls appart. Measure one of the pieces, and that is your approximate staple length.
