Lyocell fibers offer advantages with their properties and environment friendly production processes. Fibrillation, which is among the most important properties of lyocell fiber, can be used to produce an appealing fabric touch called peach-skin effect . ... 

An already common process is called Biofinishing . This process leads not only to a smooth surface (as one can see in the Inset Figure at the end of this chapter), it also improves the quality of the treated fabric.

Tencel AlOO was launched in 1998 and has proved to be very popular and effective at extending the range of applications for Tencel fibres. It is particularly beneficial for jersey knit applications because of its excellent colouration, attractive aesthetics and good wash/wear performance. The warm touch of jersey fabrics made from AlOO complement the cooler touch of peach skin fabrics made from standard lyocell.
