Abstract
The disclosure provides a tissue product comprising at least one multi-layered tissue web that includes a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer. The first fibrous layer comprises wood fibers and the second fibrous layer comprises cotton fibers. Cotton fibers are present within the second fibrous layer in an amount from about 1 to about 25 percent by weight of the layer, in some embodiments from about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of the layer, and in some embodiments, from about 10 to about 15 percent by weight of the layer. The selective incorporation of cotton fibers in the tissue web results in a web having improved handfeel without negatively effecting strength and durability.
